Fitting a headset

[stedlocks]

That's cheap!
My lbs wants £25!!!!!

Luckily my mate is a bike spannerer and he'll do it for nothing :0)

Invest in a top quality headset press. Just think of how many headsets you and your friends will fit in your lifetime. Buy a really good pro quality one and it will give generations of good service.
I love pressing in headsets, it's always the first bit I fit on a frame and signals the start of a new adventure- both the build and the riding ahead.

Get your own press and savour the ritual!

I have Park Tools Pro headset press. I think part number is HHP-1. It does 1" 1 1/8" 1 1/4" 1 1/2" and is smooth as silk. Built like a brick shithouse too so it should still get some use from the great grandkids. Not cheap but it will last forever.

Thanks for that, I'll start looking for one of them then.

Not quite as swish as the Park, but it does the job quite dandy-oh!!
