Tartridge Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Go to LBS. Ask them to remove your cups. Takes 10 seconds, should be free. If youre lazy: Big flat-bladed screwdriver and a mallet - tap round gently and slowly from the inside of the head tube. Easy peasy :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartridge Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Not that I know of, but its a piece of piss for someone who's reasonably mechanically-minded, like yourself. You should get instructions with any tools anyway. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbies - check your headset is properly faced ← What does faced mean? (Y) Also when putting in headset cups do you grease them where they go into the head tube?
