Kai, Yep, those of us drinking in the rarified high-altitude air on 68 cm frames do have that issue with headset presses -- I bought the lovely Stein for Riv press that they offered a few years back (a different part of the tool pool from H-Z!) knowing i had to but a new piece of e threaded rod to fit my multiple taaallll head tubes. I think that Riv actually offered a long threaded rod optio for those at some point before they disappeared.
