The headset on my Trek 7.3 FX is described as an "Aheadset Slimstack With Semi-Cartridge Sealed Bearings".
The headset on modern bikes (post quill stems) is something I have never touched. I know enough to take up any play in the headset, but do I need to do any further maintenance and just what are semi-cartridge sealed bearings?
Obviously the best way to find out is how I have always learned to do something, dive in and see what happens, but I must admit to being happier if I know roughly what will happen when I undo something!
