lend of headset press brighton/hove area

[hurin76]

Has anybody got a headset press in the brighton/hove area that I could borrow, I have just got a frame back repainted and want to put the headset in properly, not with a rubber mallet!

if you can't find someone to lend you one they are about 5.50 off ebay

when i did mine i just used a ratchet clamp and two bits of wood, took a couple of attempts but it worked well in the end.

2 minutes 31 seconds into it...you can make one for a couple of quid.

Yeah I've seen the cheapie press, I was trying to a avoid buying one as I think if I spend any money I may as well buy the £34 cyclo press from wiggle, just thought I'd check locally first as I don't press too many headsets so I was trying to get out of buying it.

I picked one up from CRC or Wiggle, I'm based near Twickenham so you're welcome to borrow mine but I'm not very near to Brighton.
