So my Dartmoor Primal frame uses an integrated headset - IS 52/42.

Now I've never had a bike with one of these - so how easy are they to install?

Looked on YouTube but only seemed to find vids of installing on scooters....... (My YouTube-fu is rubbish...).

Do they need pressing in or just drop in?

TIA

Did it on my road bike. Just pop them in, tighten up.
