In between here and there
Could do with a bit of help.
On the evans site my Specialized Roubaix Comp states my headset is Alloy, 1-1/8 - 1-3/8 inch, with 20mm of spacers.
I have asked a couple of mechanics in bike shops how much to replace they all have encouraged me to just dismantle it in order and either grease or replace the bearings.
Having done the stem spacers and what looked like a locking centre bolt and the top Crane Creek bearing the forks didn't just slide out as I was expecting, so I did a you tube and it looks like I need alsorts of special tools?
Or do I just need to the steerer a gentle tap to knock it out? Then what lol.
This is the only job I have not done before and my steering feels stiff at time and is weeping rust in the rain
