Broomer Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 use a hammer and a drift(long steel bar) and knock it from the inside be careful though.Unless your going to do it properly and you'll want to use a headset press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Pour Boiling hot water down it then bash it out with one of these...http://www.parktool.com/products/detail.as...0&item=RT-1Don't try and just bash it out with a Screwdriver becouse you wont get it out straight and you will gouge the Headtube wich will stop it being air/water tight and more importantly is just shit ! Or take it to a bike shop ? They'll take it out and press the new one in for £15...Well thats all i charged at Cycleworks.Or if you can't be bothered to do any of that and just want it out....Then bash it with a hammer and a dit of wood But, NEVER put a Headset in yourself without the propper tool ! It'll f**k your frame !Jarrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rideing ridic Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 thanks for all the help and were can iget a head set thing lol ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 The press or the basher-outer ?The Basher outer will cost you about £20 and is an invaluable tool that will last for life.The presses are quite alot of money, the one i used at work was £90 and came with a selection of different size pushers and a Hope adapter.Both of these are Avaliable through Park tools and will last you for life ! So you can probably get them in your local bike shop (none of this halfords shit)Jarrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a Headset in my Pashley that way and i ovalised the Head tube and had to heat treat the frame to get it back to size !

It'll f**k your frame !JarrodIt isn't a tight fit so it's water tight! It's an inteference fit, meaning that's all that holds it (and your forks) onto your frame.Also, I don't recommend it if you don't know what you're doing. But I installed my headset with a block of wood and a hammer and it's been fine for a year and still going strong. Mostly because I wanted to build it there and then though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just made it sound like that was your main concern when fitting a headset.Fair enough the headset doesn't hold the forks in, you got me there (but the topcap is mainly used for bearing pre-load)! Never really thought about it, I suppose it would still stay in the frame even if you're headtube was seriously flared, just from the stem. Doubt it'd do the bike a lot of good though!

fyfey Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Someone should seriously make an affordable headset press. For DIY bike mechanics who can't justify spending £100+ for a tool that only gets used once in a blue moon.I know it's cheap to get it fitted at your LBS, and if I was buying a frame from Tarty, I'd probably get them to fit it (apart from waiting for a workshop time slot maybe). But I like doing things myself, and given the option I would spend more to get the tool and do it myself rather than pay someone else to work on my bike.Probably just me, lol.Fyfey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
