New Fangled Bmx Bits

righty.

my shiny new frame turned up today (bargain, thankyou pijin) along with a euroBB and an internal headset which weren't fitted (not thankyou pijin - i did ask them to do it for me)

now I'm stuck.

Last time I took a bmx apart properly we had 1" headtubes, unsealed headsets and unsealed USA BBs so I'm a good 10 years behind the times.

I've found a guide for bb fitting here fitting euro bb to a bmx

but, I'm stuck on the internal headset, weird looking things they are - anyone know of a decent how-to on the subject?

- oh, and how tight should be the BB cup thingies be screwed in? are we talking jump up & down on 10" spanner or just hand tightened in a manly fashion?
