The MTB headset rotates the fork tube in the frame's tube, it's a key part of steering. It is positioned between the fork, the frame and the MTB stem, it's a part of the MTB frameset .

Constitution of a MTB headset:


A MTB headset consists of a stopper assembled on the fork tube, cups assembled in the MTB frame, two bearings, an upper stopper, spacers, a stem cup and a star fixed in the fork tube.

Assembly:


The assembly of a MTB headset requires an Allen key set and an extractor for cups and a mounting tool in the case of a headset provided with external cups and a tube for the assembly of the lower stop. A workshop stand is also necessary in order to fix the frame during disassembly. For a headset screwed onto the fork tube, two flat keys will also be required.

  • the diameter of the outer fork tube in the lower and upper part (there are conical tubes)
