Title: headset prob
Post by: mattnice on March 31, 2008, 10:47 AM

i bought a new frame and headset yesterday,im new to all this nu school lark,was just wondering on an internal headset should the top crown and bearings just push in or do they need a gentle tap.
Thanks
Matt

firstly what frame do you have? and secondly what headset have you bought?  as with an intergrated headset the bearings should just sit in the frame, you shouldn't need to tap them.

well i didn't with my Proclaimer anyways

Hi ya mate

just had an email back from FELT for ya, and they say any COMPAGNO (? spelling) headset will do it....so an FSA 45/45 would be great  :daumenhoch:

That looks like the problem I had with my Eastern. I reckon you need a Cane Creek in there 36/45.

Do those bearings you have say 45 x 45 on them?
