This useful little utility on the Cane Creek website will help you work out what headset you need. As for fitting one, a headset press can be made with a length of studding, a couple of old sockets, large washers, and some nuts. Cost: £3.00ish last time I made one..I need to change the headset on my Masi. I have never done this before but is it just a matter of removing the broken one and dropping the other in? An additional problem is that apart from the words Ritchey Pro marked on it I have no idea what it is but will any headset match?
Yup...that'll be the compression washer (probably not the correct name, but that's what I call it). When you tighten up the headset it compresses and helps to hold all the components in place.Now I feel like a complete idiot. What the picture doesn't show (because the bearing covers it) is the break in the washer that is supposed to be there and the part I thought was broken.
