  • cracked or damaged headtube etc.

    why no?
    It seems easy in my head if you have the correct tools for the tolerances
    Press in a CK

  • why no?

    I should probably have said "almost certainly no"
    You need the ID between the bearing seats to be small enough to ream out to fit EC headset cups, which isn't a given, and you need enough extension past the tube joints after cutting off the bearing seats to avoid interference between the EC headset cups and the head/down tubes.

  • i know what youre saying but in regards to tube joins,
    i have a couple of framesets that have the top tube welded from the top of the head tube, with a external headset fitted with no issues

    if the inside diameter of the head tube matches the outside diameter of the cup, why would it not work ?
