Headsets are an integral and very important part of a freestyle scooter. The headset primarily serves to allow the handlebars to turn. In our store, you can purchase headsets from the brands: Root Industries, Bestial Wolf, Chilli. The main difference between headsets is whether they are threaded (fit threaded forks) or threadless. We further divide them into integrated (only industrial bearings) or non-integrated (with cups). According to the type, we determine which board and fork the headset fits. If the headset is for threadless forks, you need to purchase one of the compression systems, which is used to tighten the headset to the deck. By improperly tightening the headset, you shorten both its lifespan and the lifespan of the fork.
