Headset guide?
Hello all, my bianchi via nirone needs a new headset. Can anyone shed some light onto this subject with a link to a simply explained guide? With afew pictures perhaps. I have taken the bike to pieces so am struggling taking it to the shop. I know I need afew tools as well. Cheers

Interesting pedal but I think they'll need to unclip the pedal price from the shoe price as £592 is off-putting.

Is the issue fitting one, or identifying it ? - if the latter, then by the power of google

- see 3rd post down.
Must admit I've not fitted an integrated or semi-integrated (ie separate bearing cups) headset, but a browse through the FSA/CaneCreek/ChrisKing/ParkTool websites will probably yield some useful info - AFAIA all of them have some good explanations of the various types.
HTH,
