the best way of fittin headset cups to the frame is put em in the frezer for a while then warm the frame with hair drier whip cup out frezer n it should just pop in with minimal force , then repet with other cup till both in !!! this works a treat

BarryZola:
I thought i heard about that freezer technique somewhere the other day. I stuck 'em in the freezer but forgot about the hairdryer bit. I got 'em out the freezer about an hour ago and banged them in with the wood and sledgehammer technique. The headset's all sorted now so i can move onto the crank and bottom bracket when my crank comes next week. Thanks again guys ;)

adam:
Thats a done deal Barryzola, I'll confine my Aero questions to this thread and maybe a nice little tips section may build up.

Highrisedrifter, that is one sweeeeet looking bike you have there.

I have decided on the black/chrome look (cheaper tuffs),   I'll be contacting Del in the near future too.

P.S.  I have never fitted BB or headset cups before, I was planning on winding them into place with 10mm stud and some large metal plates and nuts,  overkill or no ?    I'd just prefer not to hit things with hammers (as it usually turns out to be one of my body parts !)

Paulo:
Hitting things with hammers is a bit nervy.  Use the big lump of wood.

I use a big rubber mallet rather than a hammer. Even if you do miss the wood you wont damage the frame.
