Order a frameset just wondering if I need to get tools to install the neco headset.
Does the crown raiser come installed? And the top and bottom cup bearing pressed into the head tube?
Thanks

I planned on taking mine to the LBS for the headset and BB installation.
However I carefully had a go myself and was surprised how easy it was. Crown race went on with a little persuasion. GXP bottom brackets require a specific tool, easily found online or at any good bike shop. BB30 bearings are press fit, I used some flat blocks of wood and gentle pressure. Twas very very easy. Of course this may not be the case with all frames.0 -
I got bsa bb so its quite straight forward. Didn't fancy standard BB30 as the frame bb didn't have press fit bb option.Road - Cannondale CAAD 8 - 7.8kg
