Alright kids..... just because ya put a new 40 dollar headset on your RUP doesn't make the RUP bearings bad....

Half the damn beach in the bearings makes them Bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Helped a kid at the park change his new headset purchased from Scooter Zone ooh ahh

... and the 1st clue should have been the rust on the Lock nut!!

Your bars don't spin because you have them filled with dirt/sand and whatever else you've managed to get up in there.


gawd damn it is a battle fighting the Brainwashing some of you guys are putting on my 6 year old with " these are so much better, that sucks, this is great" blah blah blah

Anyhoo-carry on but just remember that a little maintenance will go a long way with your stuff!!

I agree HOWEVER a stock razor headset will not work with threadless forks unless you use a pinch ring and a second crown race to rig it as threadless, and some people prefer sealed over unsealed, although like I said I don't mind Razor headsets at all.

Some 3-in-1 oil and paint stripper does the job making any bearing spin fast and clean
 
^Me too my bottom bearing cage is stretched to hell but I grease the whole thing up and it still spins fine, I dont plan on wasting money on parts like headsets when you can just clean your bearings and regrease them
