BB and Headset assembly
« on: March 19, 2007, 11:09 AM »
Hi all

I'm putting together a Gen 1 shortly but the only things I can't remember how to do are the headset and BB assembly. It's been over twenty years since I last put a bike together and I may be a bit rusty.  ;D

I've searched for a guide on the forums but I can't seem to find one, I may have used the wrong search terms. Could anyone point me at some how-to's that would help me out please?

Cheers

HRD

That depends on what you intend installing. Post up type and model of headset as some top races run facing out!!

BB, if looseball should have balls facing the cones.

The headset cups, you can hit them in with a hammer,but use a piece of wood in between to protect them.

Bottom bracket cups, i suggest you use a vice as they can be a struggle to get in.


Ball bearings to have the loose ball side running against the cups

Addy,

I thought it was the other way with the balls!! But should have checked first, see below for a looseball redline crank but same should apply, apologies for confusion

 

Ohh and here's a pic of a version of headset too.
