I need to replace the headset on a bike. I have the replacement headset here finally. I could do the repair before or after my work shift at the bike co-op. Or I could do it at home.
At the co-op:
I first have to get the bike to the co-op, but once there, I can work on it in a repair stand. The headset cup remover tool probably won't work on this particular headset. I'll have to improvise. The headset cup installer tool is broken and out of service. Once again, I'll have to improvise, perhaps by using a work stand next to a vice. The crown race also needs to be changed, but the shop has the necessary tools.
At home:
I simply need to roll the bike into the back yard. but I'll have to lay the bike on the ground to work on it. I'll have to improvise a cup remover, but I probably have better "drifts" than the co-op. I'll have to improvise a cup installer, but I can probably repurpose an automotive spring compressor for this task. I can't replace the crown race at home, thus I'll have to remove the fork and carry it to the co-op.
Which option should I choose?
