I don't like is it's got an intergrated headset (OEM manufactured for Cane Creek by Zoom YUK..)

Since I don't have the tools for this (Headset press I think it is?) I was gonna take it to the
local shop. Anyway so I like to know the process so I know whether I'm being

off on the price for the work. Is it just a case of removing the integated cups (For it is this
type!) & pressing in a new headset or will they need to do any facing, the frame is in excellent
condition. OR could i do this myself?? Also will the height of the new headset make my steerer
tube too short now (More expense :-( Thanks Phil

You can't switch types - at least not without serious machine shop work.

But if it has cups it's not an inteGRATED headset, it's an inteRNAL one (or a classic threadless
one), and those are supposed to be okay...

You could take a look through the Chris King website. They have a piece explaining and clarifing the
different types and which can be interchanged.... I'd give you a better link but I for some reason
can't access the INternet only my local news and mail serers... hhmmmmmmmmmmmmm
