Headset Fitting?

(1/3) > >>

evening radsters

time for another newbie question... this time about headsets
got my beartrap II in the post today and have been hunting about looking for tips on how to fit this

so far have seen a youtube video with some bloke whacking one with a hammer, other sites described how to make a special tool for the job, along with shopping lists of parts to get from wickes
am thinking since I'm only planning on building one bike (really) I'd probably be better off just taking to a bike shop and have it done by an expert rather than making a tool to use just once or risk knackering my precious forks, unless of course it costs much more

anyone know if radbmx shop would do it? they're only about 10 mins drive from me I reckon but I couldn't see anything about servicing on their site

cheers

PS I know you lot are probably going to take the piss out of me for not wanting to do this myself, but I promise to put all the other bits on ;D

Jamroll:
Griff, I'm absolutley certain Radbmx shop would be happy to give you a hand with this...maybe a small donation there way ???
Its not to difficult to get the cups in yourself.....just take your time. got a rubber mallet available  :-\

griff:
cool - don't mind paying just don't want to get ripped off in the town or get my lovely haro fooked up in halfords
plus I don't have a rubber mallet

I will wrap my precious cargo and take it up the road then  :)

cheers
