I have been reading this (and posting incomprehensible scrawls) and have finally done a job on my langsetr headset. Getting the cups out was very difficult- had to ram various things into the splays of the headset tool to get purchase. I also, before i had read the post, been under the mistaken impression bearings were integrated and tried to 'pop' what i though was a cartridge out by levering over the top/under neath the fluted bit of the head tube wihich has damaged it. I was lucky to find a set of cartridge bearings in my tool box that then sat in the frame (no need for cups, cartridges just snug in on the 'shelf' in the headtube) and put the split insert and the top bit (see spud's first post) and then the spacers and it is a bit crunchy if you over do the preload (i think the bearings i found weren't perfect to begin with) but should work OK. Thanks for this post, really helped! cheers

i am having the same problem, the above though does give an accurate description though, as i look into the headtube what is the black thing with tiny drilled holes that seems to be glued (!) below the headset at the top, and above at the bottom (of the headtube). It doesn't seem like cups as cups come all the way to the edge of the headtube. Plus i am confused about the third poster's recommendation of a 1" not 1 1/8" headset as replacement.
I bought these thinking I was going to race in 2009 and ended up not riding at all. They have been sitting in the cupboard since I bought them from evans that winter. They sold them off a specialized tarmac which came with them but which a customer didn't want, I especially liked them (having decided to go for 404s) because these had the nicest versions of the decals I had seen. So in effect they are third hand now, but i bought them before they had been ridden at all. I fitted a cassette and tyres and rode them up my road when i got home less than 200 metres , then took them off the bike. I have some inner tubes for them which you can have and the zipp valve extenders in their packet. There are no skewers or bags. They are shimano/sram fitment.
They are beautiful, wheels, and by all accounts, excellent at what they do. for example see the bikeradar review.
