wow. ahem. ok.

EVERY single bike forum i've ever visited has one of these threads at one time or another, sometimes several in a week. odd. impressive.

dave (installer of his own headsets with the piece of soft wood/shop rag/rubber mallet method. and sometimes the flat of a 36mm headset wrench padded up with shop rags, and a small hammer. with never a manked HS in about 10 years of "rolling my own" so to speak., it works for me. oh, and i've used the big @ss bolt and large washer method in the past, too. gotta make a new one of those though. the BABALW method. i like it.)
