I tried using the press they had but none were long enough so used the DIY threaded rod, washers, bolts and their alignment cones to press them in. I have some alignment cones on order to use the next time. Pics when I have the whole tool together.
can you please describe what you had to do in order to fit an ISO headset? I take it the Park tool you referred to was a reamer/facing tool, but what about the fork crown race? And can you use the reamer without also facing, or did you mill out the necessary amount from the headtube I.D. while also milling down headtube height? If so, did you account for that in terms of headset stack height, or just use a spacer(s)?
