Do it old school.

Get a 2x4 and put the cup of the headset ont he frame and tap it in, once it's partially in pound it the rest in. Go slow at first so it goes in straight.

The put the bearings and crap back in and make sure to grease 'em up. Put all the spacers back and obviously not your gyro plate.

Put up some pictures if you run into trouble.

I did the first part, but all of the other things I don't know what to do with. Everything is still pretty greased up, so not much to do in that department.

EDIT: I guess I'm going to need more spacers, because I don't want to cut my steerer tube and then one day buy an Elementary stem and not be able to fit it.

I could have sworn there were more pieces, but here it is.

I had the same worries when i cut the steerer(sp?) tube on my Odyssey forks and got a new frame. But fortunatley it all worked out. Most stems will have the same stack height, at least i'd bet my forks on it.

EDIT:And by stack height i mean how tall it is where the steerer tube goes in, not how high it will make your bars.

The Elementary does have a high stack height though... and somehow, I got everything to work, with exception of my wheel being a little crooked (which should hopefully be easily fixed). My only problem is that I took off my gyro, and have one spacer less than I did before. I can't figure it out because it just doesn't look right if I have a spacer on.
