Head tube is a little chewed/tight

(1/3) > >>

Swivel:
Just had an Ammaco team pro frame arrive and it was unfortunately showing itself out of the box  :( so a few prangs in delivery has squeezed in the headtube a bit. Does anyone have any tips to pull it out a bit to get a headset in there?

Cheers,

Matt  :daumenhoch:

That's not good mate.....was it not packaged up correctly?  if not and you bought it off here or ebay then contact the seller and give em what for!   >:(

as for getting the dinks out?  not sure about that mate....but i'm sure everything is possible

Swivel:
Rob, bought off here mate but by a good fella Chris (strikey). Told him already but I didn't want to trouble him really with it. Was delivered by DHL so hopefully Chris is covered but it may not come to that if I can find a way to just open up the headtube a bit.

Cheers,

Bearing cups should push it back into shape if you use a bearing cup press to ease them in provided it's not totally fooked.  How far out of shape is it and any pics to see how much damage there is?

oberonspacefruit:
a headset press hass different sized presses on it, like a pyramid, but round layers instead of square. perhaps the pres without the headset would push it out a little.
