how do you get the BB cups on, the way i can see is to wack it with a hammer, but i don't want to, any suggestions
-
A bit of grease and a gentle tap with a hammer, cover the cups with a tea towel so you dont mark em... then let the mrs wonder why there are round marks on the tea towel... :LolLolLolLol:
-
there are a few ways to do it, the official route probably being the headset press tool...then theres the vice method & also whacking it with a hammer :LolLolLolLol: cover the cups with a piece of wood to protect them if you use the hammer or vice method :daumenhoch:
i'm sure there are other methods others will know..

I use a rubber mallet, makes life a little easier. :daumenhoch:

by the time you have pee'd about with a rubber mallet and failed, you will be frantically rumaging through your toolbox for the biggest sledge hammer you can find, then taking a overhead stance leaning your body back as much as you can, you will be taking a fook it i dont care anymore approach. as i often do :2gunsfiring_v1:

Unless he meant 'Ball Bearing' Cups!! :LolLolLolLol:

Grease the cups place against the headtube top and bottom .
Piece of wood on each cup and a G-clamp ...slowly tighten the G-clamp and ........... it works for me.
