I bought a new bike (Trek 5000) about a year ago. Recently I noticed
brown gunk oozing from the bottom cup of the headset, which is of the
Aheadset threadless variety.
I took the headset off, but it looks as if the bottom bearing ring has
rusted and seized. It also appears that this bearing bearing ring is
sealed and doesn't come out of the headset cup.
So do I have to buy a whole new headset? Or can I replace the bearings.
I'm having a little difficulty seeing what the benefit of these new
threadless headsets is.
