Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally finished installing a new headset for my mountain bike fork. My old bearing was somehow ripped and I had to change to a new one. Lucky for me, the parts are easy to order but, I wasn't sure of the exact size even though I did the measurement.

I also wanted to try different bearing types and colors. I chose purple as it looks nice and also it comes with a full set. Unfortunately, because my bike is a folding bike, the design is a little different. The good news is I've ordered several different types of bearing.

Like I've said before, I want to learn to change all of my bike parts and already bought tools specifically for bicycles. Definitely, it wasn't a smooth experience but, for some reason, I find it relaxing. Especially, when you think it's easy but there's always a problem cropping up.

I'll be screaming and cursing to myself when things don't go my way but always try to find a solution to solve it. It helps when you can actually get the correct parts but so, you'll have to wait if it's not. Sometimes, I just guess the size as I'm a little lazy to do the measurements.

I measured my original bearing size around 40-41mm. I wasn't sure so I ordered both sizes and both actually fit the cup. My original bearing is also not a sealed bearing but when I tried the sealed type, it actually felt better and smooth.

I only realized that I can actually change the cup after it accidentally came off while I was trying to put back my fork. Now, I have a new cool purple color cup set for my bike. Taking out the fork makes me realize I can easily change to a new bike fork next time.

Well, every damn time, I said to myself this is going to be easy, a problem came out. And, I have to either modify, reused old parts, etc. I pretty much learn from mistakes. That's what I call learning from the school of hard knocks!

I'm almost 50 and I don't know why only now am I interested in biking. Yeah, I learned to ride a bike in the parks when I was around 9 or something. Even then, I had to beg my dad to buy me a bike. He bought me a 2nd hand bike that has a weird handlebar and different tire sizes.

Some people commented that my bike is just cheap junk trash. I beg to differ. Yes, it is cheap. That's why I bought it. It suits my budget and so far I've road over 100 miles with it. Using it to commute between work and home. I've also ridden to faraway parks and beaches without any problem.

It's not those expensive trails or road bikes. Although, I'm basically using it for various different terrain. Sometimes, I use the pathway, cut into grass and little off-road trail. Going up and down slopes and even smashed my bike into a metal railing. Yup, this bike has been through it all and still riding on!

By the way, I took the opportunity to also change my cable bike brake cable housing from black to green and red. Will be changing the shifter color to white once I got my new drop bar. I'm curious to use a drop bar on my folding mountain bike. Lol.

What do you guys think?
