Well value for money these are great , used one for about two years and never had a problem..

But I karma'd that recently and bought my self one of these.. :

So either I can recommend.. however there are cheaper methods using a threaded bar and washers if you have a dig on the net.. ,, but certainly do not recommend a hammer and blocks of wood.. certainly not on a quality headset like this..

cheers, i have scoped a threaded bolt and washer combo for 5 snids on the bay.
is it recommended to do one cup at a time with these tools? or is it possible to do both at the same time without ballsing it up...??
i do like the Chris King headsets, but never ridden a bike with one to know if its worth the 100 quid investment. although £55 is a very tempting introduction to the world of CK...

I cannot comment on the threaded bar approach tbh.. maybe others can advise ..

I can say though , having run chris king headsets and hubs for well over 10+ years without a problem or hiccup they are well worth the money and this is a very good price..

Others may disagree , but I'm going on my experience using them... although I'm not saying that there are not other headsets out there that are equally as good .. for example Mavic headsets have a very good rep. all depends on what floats your boat..
