Installed the headset viscous top bearing into my Ariel Rider Kepler eBike. I can now ride hands free at 41 mph. I removed the old bearing with a socket extension and tapped the new one in with a rubber mallet. No other type of mallet worked. If I were to install another bearing I would cough up the $20 for a press-in tool. I only needed the top bearing, but if I was doing it again I would replace the bottom as well. These are just better bearings and the price isn't bad.

Installed the Hellbender 70 Visco on my new Lectric X Peak step thru ebike and was able to remove the speed wobble. Excellent product. Customer service has been outstanding with Tom V continuing to assist me in improving the bikes handling with their excellent products. Because of Cane Creeks staff and products I will not be returning the bike to Lectric.
