Wanted: Headset press to borrow

Posted on
  • Hi

    I need a headset press to borrow. I would need it for couple of hours.

    I know I can make one for under a tenner but I want to use proper tools.

    I can offer couple of cans of your choice in return.

    would be great if pick up/drop off in central london area.

    thanks

  • send retro di corsa a pm not sure he'd want to loan out a campagnolo headset press but he might be able to help you.

  • Anyone in the SE area have one to lend. Need it for tomorrow morning please!

  • Or I can obviously travel to collect it.
    Payment in eternal gratitude and/or I have a ridiculous amount of alcohol that needs housing, so a bottle of spirits for your troubles.

  • I have my homemade one you are very welcome to use - works fine but I've only used it to press back in cups that have already been in place before.... if it's a new headset you're installing you're probably best using a proper one. SE1 btw

  • i went to my local charity bike shop and htey fitted the headset cups in minutes - so i bunged them a few quid.

  • Cheers Upstart. Would prefer a proper one but this could be better than nowt.
    other Lbs wants to charge £15.
    Wish there was a charity bike shop instead of rip off one with East Dulwich tax.

    they've just sold a really good condition holdsworth avanti for 90. i know it's 501 but was really good nick.

  • And where is this charity bike shop please? Going to have to pay it as need the bike to get to work in the abvo.
    Anyone wanna fit my headset in SE22 for a tenner? It's reamed and faced already.

  • use a hammer and a block of wood - works quite well.

  • As it did on my polo bike and beater. But for my bob and campag I'd prefer proper tools to be honest.

  • PM'd

  • Still needed due to my deadline.

  • use a hammer and a block of wood - works quite well.
