Looks like a reasonable solution: [url= http://www.bikecommuters.com/2007/09/29/homemade-headset-installation-tools/ ]CLICKY CLICKY[/url]

Anyone seen/done this before?

Looks like a reasonable enough solution, but I've not seen a reducer like that in a DIY store - most domestic copper pipe is 22mm I think (not a plumber!).

You might find a brass hose connector in roughly the right size - a commercial one, not a domestic one...

Great bit of kit. Theres also the highly technical solution of a bit wood and a hammer.

Out of fitting 2 identical headsets to 2 identical frames I actually found the hammer and wood method to be the easiest. Were steel frames through so wasn't worried about being a little brutal with it.
