I installed my headset last week with a homeade press and it went o.k. The top cup pressed in pretty nicely, but the bottom one went in lightly crooked. I had to straighten it out with a rubber mallet and I had to bang into the cup about 6 or 7 times really hard on the crooked side to get it straight to finish off the press. I did the top cup like this too a little w/. the mallet. This question may seem silly but I cannot forgive myself for doing it because I was having a bad day and am have been thinking if I stressed the headtube any from the installation? There are no cracks or nothing and I inspected to see if it was o.k. It's not possible anything could have cracked from this inside is it? The headse is true and straight now, it just needed that adjustment and later press to top it off. As I banged into the frame it vibrated a lot and was very loud, (yes, I know this statement is retarted) but you gotta know how it went down. I know it's a little late to ask, but my mind is driving me crazy and I don't want the headtube to snap on me.
