Shimano 600 Headset (HP-6500) replacement bearings?
I have a shimano 600 (HP-6500) headset here that has unfortunately developed an "indexing." The wheel snaps straight on the stand. This particular headset has sealed bearings.
Is it possible to replace the bearings or should I just shop around for a new headset?
Unfortunately, it's on a classic bike with a complete 600 groupset, so while I would love to replace it with a nice cheap modern headset, it just wouldn't be right.
