AdamR28 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Yes, the top race needs reaming out (it's distorted by the welding between head tube and top tube), it's a Campag style bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mata22 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 so what do i do? ( i am sorry if i did not understand you ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Sorry - it's my fault! It's like this: http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/headtube-reaming-and-facing - but with special tool for Campagnolo headset (road bike).

AdamR28 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Ah, it's good you already have the tool! Sometimes you can just buy a different cutter (http://weldtite.co.uk/products/detail/head-tube-reamer-campag-lower) depending on which tool you have, so that you don't need to buy a complete tool and it will save money... They are still quite expensive though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mata22 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 it really was expensive tool and mine is not park tool but cutter can be changed. i will try with my local bike dealer and ask if they have cutter for campagnolo.... anyhow , you really helped me cause i didnt know what was the problem as bike is new. i tough i was that lucky to get broken new bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
