Step 3Install first headset cup
- Insert the headset press from bottom (we'll be putting in the top headset cup first)
- add the headset cup and remaining spacers on the top. make sure the setup is keeping the threaded rod, headset cup and head tube fixed in line. a bit of play is not a huge problem, but do as well as you can with the plastic spacer tubes.
- crank on the nuts! the headset fit can be very tight, and require a lot of force to get it in. the soft wood will make cracking sounds as the head tube cuts into it.
- it is common for the headset cup to get a bit tipped when it first starts to go in, but this setup will correct that as you continue cranking.
