I'll link to this in the fuckwits as that is where it really belongs but thought I should also post here for continuity. The ZTTO headset arrived before Christmas and I finally decided to have a go at putting these on the wifes Aldi special.
Probably should have taken more notice of the flared out ends of the headtube and the taper on the steerer and heeded someones previous advice. As Oh dear thats not going to work......
To make matters worse the integrated headset was full of loose bearings and I'm not sure if I dropped any in the dark. Oh well at least one of the bearings from the new headset should work when I put it together for the time being.
So now I need to think of a plan B or C all of which are dependent on finding someone with a decent bearing press I can use.
Plan B Chuck up a WTB for a Fox 32 straight steerer CSU with munted stanchions that I cancannibalise for crown and steerer.
Or
Plan C I hate throwing sh!t out and had this lying in the shed from some old forks a mate gave me.
They were a clamped steerer so the steerer came out pretty easily, now to find a chunk of aluminium and machine up a reducer like the ND tuned one.
Off to the fwits for the next update .
