no, but I think people would expect a bike shop fitting a £100 headset to a £2500 frame to at least brush the bread crumbs off the board first.

Fair enough. I can see why some people leave these thing to the pros

Yes, there's the "in case we **** it up" insurance to cover 🙂

and how much you are annoying me...
stroppy git tax?
but all I ever use to fit headsets is a wooden mallett
I've fit a few before but an fsa orbit reducer into a 1'5" headtube bloody awful, really difficult to fit and due to frames 1 and 2 having faults I had to do it a couple times, got the shop to fit it to the third frame gratis.

It's fair to charge more for parts supplied i/o parts bought in the shop.

No it's not. It's fair to charge less if the parts were bought in the shop.

Exactly - that's what I said )

Genuine offer:

If anyone is close to me in Farnborough, Hants, I will fit stuff like this for free if I have time, as long as you bring some Jaffa Cakes.

I'm in Marple and can make a similar offer. I don't have a headset removal tool (yet) but they're only £15 or so.
