Anyone have any guides to fitting os headsets?
I've just bought a new odyssey headset for my first build and I wanna make sure its fitted correctly.

Cheers

For fitting the cups into the frame, lightly grease up the cups......get some think bits of wood, rest the head tube of the frame onto one piece (making sure the frame is as square as you can....then put the cup onto the head tube, bit of wood on top and hit it as square on as you can.....it should go in....might take a few bangs though.  Turn over and repeat the other end  :daumenhoch:

Paulo:
Get the cup square in the frame then wack it with a hammer as hard as you can.  :knuppel2:

Well almost...use a plank of wood to hammer against to make sure the cups go in square and so they don't get damaged. A big rubber mallet also works.

or instead of whacking it

get a large diameter bit of threaded bar from wickes or somewhere and make up a cup press
using large diameter washers and slowly tighten up the nuts down the threaded bar
pushing the cups in

or buy a pukka parkes tool if your feeling loaded

pickle:
Or for about a tenna take it to your local bike shop and they'll do it for you!  :daumenhoch:

But i always put my own in.....even my Chris King on my MTB!  :smitten:
