Schwinn PACIFICCYCLE ROAD BICYCLE Manual De Uso Y Cuidado página 46

This type of headset can be found in both threaded and threadless
versions and is still the most common type of headset used. Another
headset in common use today is the semi-integrated type. This
headset also utilizes bearing cups that press directly into the
headtube of the frame. However, unlike a standard headset, the cup
and bearing sit directly inside the headtube. This provides a stronger,
lighter weight headset system. The third and final type is referred to
as an integrated headset. This headset is matched with a specific
headtube design that allows the headset bearings to be placed
directly inside the headtube without the need for a pressed in cup,
allowing for a very lightweight assembly.
It is important to understand that each of these types of headset are
not interchangeable and have very specific requirements for proper
fit and adjustment. If you have any questions regarding the headset
used on your specific bicycle, or are in need of service, please contact
your local dealer for assistance.
Cables and Cable Housing
Cables and housing are one of the most overlooked parts on the
bicycle. The first indication that your cables and housing need to be
replaced is an increased amount of pressure needed to operate the
brakes or shifters. Before every ride, check that there are no kinks or
frays in the cables and housing. Also check that the housing is seated
properly into each cable stop of the bicycle. It is recommended that the
cables and housing are replaced at least every riding season to
prolong the life of your bike. See your authorized dealer for cable
and housing replacement.
Do not ride a bicycle that is not
operating properly.
