not sure if anyone has takin the time to look for this or not but i plan to buy one !

$120 to put a 30 dollar part it? Not worth it, just make a press by yourself (look on google), pay for a bike shop to put it in or install it yourself with vicegrips its not that hard

 

[gorrilaman]

Umm I think its mroe like for shops. I don't think people will buy it just for themselves. Not worth it to me.

Hi Brian Boston!What's up.

 

[fashow69]

yea but on the next page they have a smaller more like manual operated one for only 50 i would probly buy that one. and just think you not everyone has a local bike shop that can do it for them.

 

[odysseus]

get a long bolt and 2 2x4's and it will do the same ting as the 50$ press

i wouldn't even pay ten. put it in a clamp put a peice of wood on each side and just tighten it.

 

[fashow69]

well maybe its just me but i like to do my installs professionally. perfection!

Probably works just as good for under 10 bucks.

thats what i was thinking of doin but i was too lazy to so i hammered mine in with a mallet and a 2x4

 

[zakmak]

brian how do you always find the perfect solution? haha

 

[Kenny O.]

haha yeah, mallets work fine dude. No point in spending money on something like that jsut to put a head set in.

i just get my brother to sit on the deck while i hammer it in with a rubber mallot.

Andrew told me about that

 

[Dylan Kasson]

I use a vice...it works amazingly but theres no good solution for taking them out that ive seen......

 

[Brian Boston]

Yeah thats how i ended up getting mine in. My vice grips aren't bolted down though so i had to wrestle the thing to squeeze the cups in

 

[farmboy uk]

i dont know how this is possible as its huge and bolted to a desk but somehow i lost my vice lol

 

[CodyChirichiello]

i use hammers to take the stock headset out and then i place the new piece in its spot, put a piece of wood on top of it and hit it in with a hammer. people think its destructive but i am yet to break annything.
