Tartridge Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Are you not allowed to advertise at all even though you pay for banners tart? ← That's whats stated in the guidelines we have been given. I believe it's the same rules for all banner owners, unless we have been given different terms to others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iatola says Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Head set press's are very expensive get a shop to do it as you will never use it enough to get the moeny back your looking at 100 squid for a cheap one :) Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 BB Tool Use a hammer and piece of wood for headset, or a vice, or go to a bikeshop. As someone said they are too much for how much we use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 you can get a headset press for 40 quid out of the raleigh catalog at halfords :) ive loked :P" ah wiggle do the same one for 36.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iatola says Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 And how long do "cyclo" tools last out of the raliegh cat? not great I personally think that take it to bike shop, take it to my Halfords and ill fit cups for free. Park tools are the way forward. People dont ride cheap bikes because the dont work aswell so why assemble a good bike with bad tools, they dont work aswell :) ,? there is method to the madness or is it just being fussy Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroo Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 A rubber mallet (millets £6.99) is the best for putting in a headset. No wood needed, just bash away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siders77 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Why bother spending about £100 on a headset press when you can make one of THESE!?!?! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other companies who didn't make them in-house would charge £200+ for it! The Magura facing tool is £300 :) The link you posted Lee... that guy must have been REALLY lucky to find exactly the right sized bronze bushings kicking about at his local shop :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hope tool is nicely CNC'd with brass bits that are all well made. Sure, you can get cheaper, but it isn't as nice is it. A Mini Metro goes from A to B just fine, but people pay 10 times more for a Ferrari, 'cos it's nicer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Yeah :) I did try and make one because I didn't want to put my King in with a mallet (What a pussy?! :"> ) So I went to B&Q got all the stuff I needed but replaced the Bronze bushings with washers. I got home to find out that the bolt was too short! :) So I used a mallet :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
