I have floated around for a while and now have an excuse to say Hi as I have some problems with my 2nd hand track bike. Anyway I took my headset appart to clean it and get the expetience of doing this, but when taking it appart the bits that fit into the head tube just came out as well as the rest. As far as I know this isn's right. I suspect a crash and stretched head tube. I was thinking of getting some very thin metal sheet to make a shim to get the headset to fit again and was wondering if this is just a crap idea and if so why. Or if not if anyone knows of a suplier of very thin sheet metal. Or if I have to get a new head tube if anyone knows of a reasonable frame repairer. Thanks guys.
If this sounds garbled sorry im a bit drunk.
