A BMX bike headset is a crucial component that connects the fork to the bike frame, allowing the handlebar to spin. The main elements are the BMX headset bearings, but parts may vary depending on the BMX headset type you choose. Integrated headsets are the most common these days, though many quality non-integrated headsets are also available.
What Size BMX Headset Do I Need?
The standard BMX headset size is 1 ⅛ inches, which should match the diameter of the fork steerer tube. Some models offer a tapered option combining 1⅛ and 1½ inches caps. Race BMX bikes and youth BMX bikes may have a smaller headset tube of 1 inch.
Other common components include BMX headset spacers, which can adjust the stack height, and C rings that help center the fork in the headtube.
BMX Integrated Headsets VS Non-Integrated Headsets
Integrated headsets have become the preferred choice for both race and freestyle BMX riders. They are so named because the sealed bearings are placed directly into the frame's headtube. This type of headset is very easy to install and has a clean appearance.
Non-integrated headsets, also known as standard headsets, feature separate cups that are pressed into the headtube to house the bearings. This type typically has unsealed bearings, resulting in less friction when the handlebar spins.
Give the BMX Headset a Good Grease
When replacing headsets, it's recommended to apply a generous amount of grease to the new parts. Greasing the headset ensures that all components are easier to maintain, clean, and replace.
