Anyone near Chester got a headset installing tool?

Need to press a new headset in and not sure if I want to risk doing it myself 😳

B&Q, M12 bolt or rod, M12 nuts, big washers and optionally some pipe insulation. Use the bolts, nuts and washers to make a screw press and you can use the pipe inulation around the blt to keep it cental in the headube, thereby avoiding off centre pulls.

It really is easier than you would imagine – 10 minute job, £5 ish of bits.

Yep. The Bike Factory, The Edge, Deeside Cycles et al, will all have headset presses. 😉

On a serious note if you don’t mind driving out to Caerwys then you can use mine. Send me an e-meither if you want to use it.

Rubber Mallet and some plastic pipe if you need to install the crown race as well?
Take it gently until it’s going in straight and you can’t lose

I’m near Wigan if that’s any good?

proper job sat in the garage, somewhere
