Review on ๐Ÿ”ง KENWAY Acekit Bike Headset & BB Cup Press Bottom Bracket Installation Tool by Duke Ballard

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Halved when peeled. Bad materials. Not for the first time.

I don't know exactly what happened. I installed the cups with no issues and sat straight and level, but I've used this style before and know what to expect from the balance. (If this is your first bearing installation, do not use this type of press.) Now for the problem. I wanted to loosen the nuts and remove the tool, for some reason it got stuck and I had to secure the tool while it was still in my frame to avoid damaging the bearings and breaking the bolt. I wish I knew what happened. I suspect I broke the threads in both nuts, which is what the nut is. (sorry for the pun) very bad materials in this tool

Pros
  • Annual trial period
Cons
  • The list will be long.
