If you want to replace your fully integrated headset (is – integrated standard), you don't need a special tool. With this type of headset you simply put the bearings into the head tube of your frame. Just follow our assembly instructions and pay attention to the mounting position of the bearings and your are good to go!

To replace your semi-integrated headset (zs – zero stack), you need a headset cup remover and a headset cup press tool, e.g. our inexpensive diy-headset-tool.

Yes and no! We offer bearing sets for many BH Bikes headsets. Each set contains an upper and a lower bearing and a new compression ring. We offer all other headsets as top or bottom kits.

We develop and manufacture your headset to make it your loyal, inconspicuous companion. Nevertheless, like many other components on a bike, it is a wearing part. But with proper installation, care and maintenance, you can combat wear and tear and therefore maximize your worry-free time on your bike. Find our assembly and maintenance instructions as a PDF download on the respective product page of your particular headset.

By the way, we agree: high pressure cleaners are a great, time-saving affair. However, the strong water jet – often over 100 bar – is poison for your ball bearings because the high pressure can rinse out the grease. Even the best seals won’t help here if you’re not careful. Therefore avoid water blasting the area around the headset, but also around the bottom bracket and frame bearings. Apart from that, be careful around these areas with bike cleaners like Muc-Off. After all, these cleaners basically work as degreasers that will happily dissolve the grease in your bearings and, as a result, make them wear out much quicker.

PS: Did you know that when having your bike on the car roof in the rain and at high speeds, is similar to cleaning it with a high-pressure cleaner? Accordingly, it is worthwhile to watch your max speed, cover your beloved bike and regularly re-grease your headset.

Almost nothing is more annoying than crackling sounds on your bike. They are usually caused by friction between two (dry) metallic surfaces. Often it is not that easy to find the cause of the unpleasant noises and you need to play detective first. It can, but does not always have to be the headset that causes sound effects. Often the connection between the handlebar and stem or between the steerer tube and stem can also be the reason for the noise. If the sounds are certainly caused by your headset: A little grease often solves all your problems, as we like to say. So the best thing to do is simply remove the headset and generously apply grease. If that doesn't help either, you have probably just used your bike as intended by the developers: a lot and often and hopefully with a big grin on your face. Only a new headset will help then, because ball bearings are still wearing parts, even though our engineers are doing everything to change that!

Unfortunately we do not always know for sure which acros headsets and bearings are used in the different BH Bikes models. We do our best to keep our database up to date and to extend it. However, sometimes we need your support for that! If you can't find your model, just follow our our short guide. Our headset-experts will then recommend the right headset for your bike.
