Step 7Head tube cones and angle indicator
The head tube cones are just like the seat tube cone, only larger in diameter.
If you can't get cones made, you could probably rig up something like the simple version of the bottom bracket post, using four socket head allen bolts. You'll have to make one set for each headset size, and you might have to trim the lower corner bracket to make room for the down tube.
I have glued another piece from a cheapo tape measure to this beam so that I can locate the head tube at the right height. Just load in your head tube and slide the lower cone assembly up until you're at the right height.
The angle indicator is the same as the other one, too.
Set your head tube angle and you're ready to start loading tubes!
