You'll need this if you're stuck with a BB

Very well made and easy to use. The only downside is that you have to use it. Unusable press-fit bearings are the worst invention in the history of cycling. I have less than 600 miles on my BB30 and had to use this great tool from Wheels Manufacturing. The build quality is excellent. Versatile drifts are great for keeping your kit simple. Just look at all the different sizes on "professional" tools that use different sizes for each BB size. The only improvement I would suggest is a nice case…

Pros
  • press fit. This is amazing
Cons
  • Doubt it

Works GREAT!: Sport

I am very impressed with this tool. I didn't think it would impress me. This $48 thing works wonders!

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Zero

Good quality and versatile tool

I couldn't confirm if the press would be long enough or if the inserts would fit on the cups based on limited photos and information online. Now I can report that This tool did its job very well.The inserts fit the Crane Creek 40 headset snugly and the threaded rod…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
