• bought a new frame with an integrated headset, there’s some thin paint overspray in the bearing ‘cups’ of the head tube. Have test fitted the headset and it feels to spin smooth with bearings sat in flush, but should I really get this reamed by a shop or something?

    First bike with an integrated headset so I’ve no idea what the dealio is

  • Ideally you’d get it reamed but I’ve found integrated to be pretty forgiving. Also found the reamers are pretty rare.

    I’ve got a small wire brush that goes in my drill that’s the perfect size for cleaning paint and corrosion out of them, might be all you need to do.
