I've never really missed around with headsets, so I decided to take mine apart just to see what it's like. (Threaded)

I loosened the big nut type thing(?) and lifted it up.

I got everything loose enough to the point where I could lift the frame off the fork so being the curious guy that I am, I did.

I quickly noticed some of the ball bearings fell out! So I dropped the frame back down onto the fork before more fell out.

A total of around 3 fell out.

I tightened everything back up and made sure the fork still span without any problems.

Is it still safe to ride? Luckily I just ordered a bunch of new parts, including a headset.

PLEASE RESPOND, my bike is my only mean of transportation.
