From the ‘Some News is Better than No News’ department, a division of the ‘Bike Builds on 10 Minutes a Day’ organization, I’m happy to report a slayed headset. When last touched on, this headset was stymying me because the lockring seemed to have an atypical dimension not typical for threaded headsets of the day. On the advice of Lung, I ceased being analytical and just went to town on it with an adjustable wrench the other morning, and was able to get purchase just so, and pull the lock ring off and expose the innards. Then, duty called elsewhere.
This morning, I went back in and spent a little more time on it, pulling out a few spacers the likes of which I’ve never seen before, and then eventually the rest of the headset and bearing rings. They now soak in degreaser, and the frame is ready for powdercoating!
Onward, in baby step increments…
