Mat Smith! Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Yep, I want to make sure that I get the headset installed properly before I cut the tube down to the correct size...Well go down to your LBS and get somebody to fit the headset for you, and then pop the forks into the headset/frame and mark out where you want it cutting (with all the spacers etc.)Then cut away, remember to nock the star nut down and cut about 2-3 mm under the line so you have room for your top-cap, hope i explained correctly.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 In my experiance its best to let your local bike shop do that. The "Correct" way is with a head set press which I've never seen but im guessing it works similar to a pillar drill.When you said "installed properly" is there something which tells you it ISN'T installed properly?

brian123 Posted December 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) Managed to fit the forks without breaking anything I've only had 10 minutes on the bike so far, it feels so weird, very small and very light. It weighs 18 lbs and just needs a rear maggie now.What do you think of it? Edited December 19, 2005 by brian123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
