Warburtons if it is tough to shift (only in "thick" though - the thin slices are not so good).

Post by: hunterdubber on November 29, 2011, 11:37 PM: Is it an alloy headset or steel

If it's alloy it could be hard anno like on Pro class III rims well hard to remove , try caustic rather than Oven pride

If it's a steel headset it could be a type of black chrome plate ,,, in which its take it to a chromers for stripping

Failing these ,,, have you tried sanding it not too hard :-\

or big chisels and angle grinding :D

Post by: sid1972 on November 30, 2011, 09:51 AM: the top nut is black chrome - hence way you are having problems... got one in the cellar the same.

its steel so they could not be annodised, so they used a chroming/plating system instead. ;)
