Stripping two bikes apart this weekend, what's the best way to remove headset cups ? In the old days I did it with a screwdriver and a hammer, just wondering is there another way ?

That's a good idea as well, I've a length of high impact conduit in the garage a short length of that might work, if not I'll hack saw the seatpost !
I wasn't going to get the screwdrivers out ! That was in the days when we didn't know better and there wasn't a forum to ask !

To be fair, nothing wrong with a screwdriver and hammer and taking care
But a headset remover ( a good one that is) makes easy work of this job. Proper tools make the difference when things get difficult and if you are going to work on bikes then why not use the correct tools for the job rather than making do all the time. I have found the screwdriver method takes to much time.
A coupe whacks of a hammer with a proper cup tool and you are done.
