consulting professional engineer. that PE tag is worth an extra $50 an hour, at least.

heck if I was in a good mood and it went smoothly I'd do it for a sixer.

I'd do it for a 6-pack of fancy brew, assuming this is just a bare frame with HS cups and BB in it. If it's got crank, chain, handlebars, fork and all those other fiddly bits, gotta be a twelve pack.

Might have to say a case if you don't want me to ding up your headset cups with a screwdriver.

Why would you be using a screwdriver to remove a headset?

Maybe he's talking about the crown race. I've used a screwdriver and hammer for those before... found the method on the interwebs. It works, but just barely.

i'll do it for 2 4-locos and a mixtape of artists no one knows.

He'd have to pay more beer if he wants me to use real tools to pop the cups out of the frame.

lawl

the lbs 15 miles from me wanted $10 to take off the truvativ cranks + bottom bracket and install my dura-ace cranks + bottom bracket on my chrome pista. when they did someone there bought the truvativs from me for $30 so i walked out with an extra $20 in my pocket and my dura ace on my bike. im going to spend the money and buy the tool to do it myself, aside from truing wheels that is the only time i ever had anyone work on my bike. i dont like having to pay people to work on my bikes, cars, etc....

Any competent caveman can use the same technique with headset cups. Try it, it's fun. Best to practice on King headsets and expensive carbon frames.

Fixed.

this was truly funny, I had to quote for no other reason than that

I learned how to remove a headset by trying it out on a sweet campy headset.

I had the correct wrenches and when I was done it still looked like I use vise grips.

That's the problem. The proper tools are not wrenches.

You can remove a threaded headset without the use of a wrench? Damn...you're good.

I don't think he was even talking about removing the cups.

lol!!!that is a good one!!! if i do it myself more money for more stuff!

:)

PE (licensed). That makes a big difference. $$$.

I will never understand how people can post things like this when the exact same thing is posted like 10 posts eariler.

I don't understand why there are always so many redundant posts. Don't you people read through the thread before typing and see that your thoughts have already been posted?

Nobody cares about professional engineers except professional engineers and wannabees.

Ditto. :lol:

This thread is kaput.
