This press is the backbone of any modern workshop. Bearing-related work is increasingly common on modern bikes and no workshop, professional or amateur, should go without these tools. The modular bearing press starts with the press head. Where most manufacturers just have a glorified nut, we've gone further by adding a massive thrust bearing. Not a small wimpy plastic washer either, a real bearing with balls and races. This means the pressing action is almost completely isolated from the torque, creating a super smooth pressing action that requires noticeably less effort. The Team Issue press drops the handles in favour of our signature spline grip design. For times when things are a bit too tight and you don't have the means to sort it out, there's a 6mm hex in the top so you can use an Allen key for a little extra leverage. We use a 1/2" acme thread for our press shaft, which means a more robust thread and less turning due to its coarser thread. This also means we have a single diameter to work with and we can size our drifts to this dimension, which means your bearings are more likely to go in straight. At the other end of the press is our new Quick Nut. This simple part allows you to slide the nut onto the press shaft to the desired location, then click it into place and press. No endless spinning, no pinch hazard and no time wasted. Be aware, the quick nut requires a few uses to fully break in.

The Team Issue Press keeps the Quick Nut from the big press, a sweet little nut that allows you to slide it on and then click it into place on the thread. Way faster, no pinch hazard and secure. Kit includes a complete handless press head, 12" press shaft, quick nut and the following drifts: Made in Bend Oregon. PF30/1.125" headset 24mm bottom bracket drifts, for shimano compatible bottom brackets 22mm bottom bracket drift, single drift for non drive GXP bottom bracket 28.9mm bottom bracket drift, for SRAM DUB 6806 drift for BB30 bottom brackets 1.5" headset drift centering cone Additional drifts are on the bearing page and longer press shafts along with service parts are available on the parts page. We always recommend installing bearings one at a time to ensure they go in straight and don't damage the bearings, components or the tools. Use the centering cone in the empty side of the hub/frame/linkage to keep the press concentric with the bore.
