I'm in need of a headset press. Anyone have one I can borrow for a few days?

Hey Rupp,

In the basement laboratories of "Team Frustration" ... we've successfully used both a really big nut and bolt with some equally large washers -- to press headset cups. More recently, I've utilized a large vice (which most say is a big no, no - but has caused me no problems) successfully.

In either scenario, I press one cup at a time ... and keep an eagle eye on the progress to make darn sure it's going in square.

The park tools headset press is an expensive buggar for sure.

In 2001 ... I was in "swap" mode ... and must have ridden 8 different cruiser frames ... all with the same components that year. So, I became pretty proficient at the process.

Maybe our friend John Wethall, who seems to do a really pro job on his bike builds, will pipe up and let us know what he does about a headset press.

Hey Dan,

I don't name the kids ... just report the results based on the moto sheets I have.

In my defense, did you know that kids have all sorts of secret lives we're not aware of? I don't bring it up often (for obvious reasons) but, my own son, Dane, is sometimes actually secret agent Boris Bakarov of the famous Kremlin Secret Police?

The reason you've never seen Boris Bakarov in the Milwaukee BMX results, is that team Boris (my wife and I) always check the moto sheets to make sure that Dane's secret identity hasn't been needlessly revealed (you know, like I did just now).

Now, for some odd reason, the name Scooter Libby just popped into my head.

Anyway, that's a long way to suggest that it would be a good idea for you to double check the moto sheets the next time that Jordan races ... just to make sure that he's not signed up as "Scott".

I'll be happy to make sure that Jordan is properly acknowledged in the results on the website.

Thanks for racing Milwaukee BMX.

Thanks for the props Kev'. I will second the motion on the threaded rod with large washers and nuts. Use something like a 3/4" or larger rod so it won't bend as your pressing in your headset. The park tool is expensive fer sure! If you want to go the pro route and spend some dough, buy a Head Tube Reaming and Facing Set to make sure your head tube is flat. I have used a large vice as well but prefer the rod/washer and nut setup best. Also find the diameter of your fork steer tube and purchase a brass tube that will just slide over your fork steer tube to install your bearing race on the fork. Don't use a screw driver to help press the race on as you might dent or burr the race and the bearings won't ride smooth.
