Mesoam Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 New bike headset. My current one has a comical amount of play. Going to try and DIY a press. don't go ghetto, you can make headset removal/install tools from a trip to home depot intentional also intentional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge_Brownie Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 don't go ghetto, you can make headset removal/install tools from a trip to home depotIs that supposed to be ironic?This will probably involve a trip or two to HD. I'm leaning towards a washer stack on each side, maybe with a piece of wood between the washer and the face. I'll probably still eyeball it with a 2x4 though, but I have a feeling it won't be that easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 No not at all, the ghetto route is when people use screw drivers and a hammer to pound out a headset and in the process gouge the shit out of the head tube. Then use a hammer to install the new one only to realize its totally botched and bring it to a bike shop to install a new one, again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudge_Brownie Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Sick of trying to measure small stuff with a tape measure. It's bike brand, but I'm sure I'll use it for quite a bit more than that. On sale for $32 at Jenson, Park Tools DC-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Curious does your work fly you business class for travel? Not at my level, the VP's get it for international flights. I'm platinum on United/Star Alliance, so at least I get economy plus, group 1 boarding, free bags, international lounge access and first class domestic upgrades for free quite often. I have accumulated 290,000 frequent flyer miles in 18 months though, a good perk of the job . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikS Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 ^ Nitto Invos? I had a set for the 850 a while back, awesome tires but tread life was short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogatu'r Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Are you absolutely certain they're not replicas? I almost bought a set for cheap from a guy on SS who claimed they were the real deal until it turned out they weren't 3 piece wheels. I can't still believe what I deal I got on these . Just got them today, very light wheels. True split rims After a quick wash with some wheel cleaner, with take them apart and give them a proper wash and polish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
