Show me your Homemade Headset Presses...Made One!!

Iwasgoodonce · May 1, 2009

In preparation for refitting rigid forks (once rack bosses have been fitted), I will need to change headsets. Off with the threadless system and back on with a threaded. This is a job that crops up only occasionally and with a personal economy drive going on I want to make one with a threaded rod.
So, let's have your designs please:

Thanks as always.

Buy packet of choc biscuits + smile sweetly at a bikeshop mechanic on a quiet day = fitted headset

Or get a job in said shop and you'll never want for the loan of a tool again.
