    Make a lot of money doing this everyday??? For WHO??? I've been riding bikes for more than 50 years and I've put a LOT of miles on them -- and NEVER have I ever needed to overhaul the headset.

      It’s hard to believe that in 50 years you’ve never needed new bearings in a headset on any of your bikes. Getting new bearings isn’t some weird luxury, it’s pretty common maintenance. Something else that is common is people who don’t maintain their bikes properly.

      @@WasabiBunny Well, I guess it just depends on the facts, doesn't it? Facts like how much you ride, where you ride and how long you own your bikes might have something to do with it, ya think? People who don't maintain their bikes properly may be common, but since nobody could possibly know anything about their bikes or how they ride, they can't be identified by reading CZcams posts. People who make foolish assumptions about other people in their CZcams posts are, however, really easy to identify.

      This stem height is probably new to them, so it does take some time to adapt. If a much longer expander plug was used, then it's not much of a problem, which only leaves that chimney of excess steerer tube.
