  • Headset's a rat-King, shame I didn't take "before" photos... I bought it off a messenger for a tenner - looked like it had been de-anodised with a penknife.
    Top-nut threads are blue & bottom race is red.. sleeves were badly mangled from screwdriver/hammer removal, a good session with a file and then finishing on a polishing wheel left it looking quite nice. (needless to say it runs super smooth).
    Crown race fitting was interesting, The original 105 headset used to rock a bit and when I removed it I noted it was shimmed with electrical tape. Fit with the King crown race was best described as cock-in-a-sock, but I shimmed it with a single layer of K's cider can which made it press-fit!!!

    All of this is awesome.
