headset Intergrated replacement with non
Hi,
I've got a frame kicking about the I'm building up at the moment. Only thing I don't like is it's got an intergrated headset (OEM manufactured for Cane Creek by Zoom YUK..) Anyway I want this out & a decent A-headset installed. Since I don't have the tools for this (Headset press I think it is?) I was gonna take it to the local shop. Anyway so I like to know the process so I know whether I'm being ripped off on the price for the work. Is it just a case of removing the integated cups (For it is this type!) & pressing in a new headset or will they need to do any facing, the frame is in excellent condition. OR could i do this myself?? Also will the height of the new headset make my steerer tube too short now (More expense :-( Thanks Phil |

On further examination this looks like it could be a Zero Stack headset, as
there are low level black aluminium cups on the top & bottom of the tube. PHil "Philthy" wrote in message ... Hi, I've got a frame kicking about the I'm building up at the moment.

But if it has cups it's not an inteGRATED headset, it's an inteRNAL one (or a classic threadless one), and those are supposed to be okay... You could take a look through the Chris King website. They have a piece explaining and clarifing the different types and which can be interchanged.... I'd give you a better link but I for some reason can't access the INternet only my local news and mail serers... hhmmmmmmmmmmmmm |
