Homemade headset cup removal tool?

Any mild steel ought to survive. Mild steel is easy to cut with a hacksaw. I got a piece of EMT conduit about 0.9" OD (costs a couple bucks for 10 feet, available at all home improvement stores), and cut the flares. Works for both 1" and 1-1/8", just adjust the flares by bending them in/out. That's what I'm going to do as I need something easily cuttable with a hacksaw. Greg |
