NEW HEAD SET FITTING HELP NEEDED.

(1/6) > >>

dordymush:
right then info needed.
im building up a streetbeat as a rider.went and bought a new DB head set from halfords yesterday for it.got back home and got the hammer and bits of wood etc to knock it in thinking it would be a bit of a job by what you fella's have said before.but the cups just slide straight in by hand. no hammering nothing. even the bottom bearing ring slipped onto the forks with no fuss.is this right. i thought they should be well tight to put in.like i say i want to ride this bike. and not being a small fella in the belly area i want it right.what you think about this ?.

ORB:
yeah, it has happened to me before.

told you beats was cack ;)
