Why buy Stunt Scooter Headsets?
Are sealed bearings better?
Sealed bearings are protected from dirt and moisture, providing smoother rotation and longer life. Semi‑sealed or unsealed bearings are cheaper but require more frequent cleaning.
How do I install a headset?
For integrated decks, slide the bearings, fork and spacers into the headtube, then attach the compression system. For non‑integrated headsets, press the cups into the deck using a bearing press or rubber mallet first.
What are headset spacers?
Spacers adjust the stack height—space between the top bearing and clamp. Using enough spacers prevents the clamp from compressing against the deck, ensuring proper headset tension and bar spin.
How tight should a headset be?
Tighten until there’s no play (rocking) in the bearings but bars still rotate smoothly. Over‑tightening can crush bearings, causing stiffness; under‑tightening creates wobble.
When should I replace a headset?
Replace it if bearings feel rough, gritty or wobble despite tightening. Cracks or dents in cups or dust caps also warrant replacement.
Do headsets affect compression?
Yes. Headset bearing height and compression type determine how spacers fit and how the clamp compresses. Ensure the headset you choose works with your compression system.
Are coloured headsets available?
Yes. Headsets come in various colours and finishes. They’re a subtle way to customise your scooter while improving performance.
