Review on Motion Pro 08 0544 Steering Bearing by Kris Martin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well but: Fluids and maintenance

Ok used it to replace the steering column bearings a few weeks ago. This is a reliable tool that makes installing a new bar cage very easy. However, it was useless for me to get rid of the old breed. The thing just won't budge. It might have been better to remove the old aftermarket road bike you already supplied after the stock road bike, but that didn't work at all for me with the stock stem bike. That's not to say there's anything wrong with the tool itself. I just think the OEMs set the original races to use heat/cold or something to ensure they never come loose. Anyway, for what I ended up using the tool for, I could just buy a metal pipe from a home store for a few bucks and save a bunch of money. And who knows if I'll ever have to change a set of bearings again. Pretty expensive for a (potential) disposable tool (at least for me).

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
