Headset replacement best practice?
I am thinking of replacing the stock headset on my '97 RockHopper as an upgrade to a suspension fork. The instrucitons include all the neccessary steps for a new install, facing etc.
Is it good practice to do all that or is it low risk simply to remove the old parts and replace with the new?
