Re: [RBW] Replace headset on Clem? Cabin fever?

[Robert Tilley]

I bought a headset press a while back and have used it twice. I went cheap and bought the Nashbar model which I think I got for $60. I made my own crown race setter using some PVC from Home Depot. That cost only a few dollars. I put it off but a recent project involved installing a 1 1/8" Chris King headset so I bit the bullet and ordered their adapters which were $50.  I think it was worth the money to pick these tools up since it means I can take care of these installs myself. Now if I ever need to remove them I'll need some more tools...

Cabin fever? Maybe I'm just getting into bike projects that aren't necessary whatsoever, but I'm interested in swapping up a couple things on my bikes. I've never replaced a headset before, but I'm contemplating upgrading the rinko-style cups that my Clem and wife's Clementine came with for something swankier. Questions: Is this crazy? The current headsets function fine, purely cosmetic. Is this worth it to me to buy the proper tools? I likely won't have a need to change headset aside from these two bikes. Some sort of diy tools? Or should I just let my LBS take care of this? The main reason I'm thinking about this is I added a Silver2 shifter/mount as a headset spacer (works great) and the wider headset cup looks out of place now that everything's a bit cluttered.
