Wheel / hub cartridge bearing press tool.. is it worth forking out for one?
I’ve found this:
https://www.singletrackbikes.co.uk/m8b268s496p22486/Wheels_Manufacturing_Consumer_Bearing_Press_without_Drifts/RS_GB?gclid=CjwKCAiAqIHTBRAVEiwA6TgJwzpzFeYCs9u_CwpvkgLFRj1bR4rhiDY656mTxhSx32Wdh9tQFkJ61RoCta0QAvD_BwE
But it doesn’t come with the drifts, and I can’t seem to find them for sale from the same place.
Is there a forum favourite tool? Or should I just hammer them in :)
Cheers!
I did my first ever hub service a few months ago using a bench, the correct drifts, a hammer (not even a mallet, lol), and some grainy YT videos. Worked fine.
Ha yeh, all my wheels have been cup and cone so far. Reassuringly cartridge seems pretty straightforward... famous last words..
