Bearing related work is becoming more and more common on modern bikes and no shop, professional or amateur should pass over these tools. The Modular bearing press starts with the press head. Where most manufactures just have a glorified nut we went further by adding a massive thrust bearing. Not a wimpy little plastic washer either, an actual bearing with balls and races. What this means is that the pressing action is almost completely isolated from the torque, creating a super smooth pressing action that requires noticeably less effort. Then we added a pair of 5\" machined handles for a little extra leverage. We use a 1\/2\" acme thread for our press shaft, which means a more robust thread and less turning due to it's coarser thread. It also means we have a single diameter to work with and can size our drifts to this dimension, this means your bearings are more likely to go in straight. At the other end of the press is our new Quick Nut. This simple part allows you to slide the nut over the press shaft to the desired location and then click it into place and press away. No endless turning, no pinch hazard and no wasted time. Be aware, the quick nut does require a few uses to fully break in. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eKit includes a complete handled press head, 12\" press shaft, quick nut and the following drifts;\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePF30\/1.125\" headset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e24mm bottom bracket drifts, for shimano compatible bottom brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e22mm bottom bracket drift, single drift for non drive GXP bottom bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e28.9mm bottom bracket drift, for SRAM DUB \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6806 drift for BB30 bottom brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.5\" headset drift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecentering cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdditional drifts are on the bearing page and longer press shafts along with service parts are available on the parts page.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eWe always recommend installing bearings one at a time to ensure they go in straight and don't damage the bearings, components or the tools.

It was one special morning to get a bespoke tool from your favorite bike tool company. At the time it was one of a kind and is a standout favorite in a rather extensive tool collection.

In the disc brake era we wanted to be able to straighten rotors while the wheel was in the stand. We wanted a stand that was equally at home truing wheels for a general tune up as it was building wheels worthy of elite competition.
