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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well for the home mechanic who needs one of these every blue moon.

This is a decent budget alternative to the standard bike shop headset presses, but it has its limitations. It doesn't have the mandrels that come with more expensive presses, so you'll have to be more careful to make sure everything lines up correctly. It's a lot cheaper, so you have to weigh the pros and cons. If I was going to be installing headsets on a regular basis, I'd go ahead and spend money on Park Tool (or something similar). If I did them here and there, the cost would be much easier to justify.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • No performance
