Piece Packs

These packs are handy for expanded versatility. Useful if you need second pieces of the same piece, or if you need a piece in a different material.

Drift RE Packs

Drift RE are used to press bearings and are also used as leverage pieces when installing bearings.

You might need an extra Drift of the same size if:

  • you are installing bearings into a BSB configuration hub. Some manufacturer’s recommend using a second Drift as the leverage piece when installing both bearings. For the first bearing, the Drift leverages from the opposite side of the part in the empty bearing bore. For the second bearing install, a second drift is used as leverage against the first installed bearing. Manufacturer’s also sometimes recommend Drifts that press only the bearing outer ring or sometimes both bearing rings. The Drift RE has you covered.

  • you have an aluminum kit, you may consider getting a second pack of acetal Drift RE to leverage the install of bearings in carbon. The acetal is gentle on carbon and painted surfaces.

Drifts RE designed to press bearing sizes:

  • Bearing Outer Diameter (mm) 16, 19, 21, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 35, 37, +41mm Drift RE as leverage to install the 37mm bearing.

 

Sleeve Packs

Sleeves are used to leverage a bearing removal and to provide clearance for the bearing being removed.

You might need a sleeve of a different material if:

  • You are leveraging a removal of a bearing in a carbon bike part, you may want an acetal sleeve. Acetal is gentle on carbon and painted bike parts.

  • You are leveraging a removal of a bearing that has a very small/thin surface to leverage against. An aluminum sleeve is stiffer and unlikely to deform if not fully supported. ALWAYS be careful when leveraging small/thin surfaces because your manufacturer probably doesn’t recommend you do this. I DON’T recommend (or warrant) it either, but lots of you seem to want to do it.

PS. A Step part is necessary when using the Sleeves, but you’ll already have one in either of the Basic Bearing Press Kit or Hub & Suspension Bearing Press Kit.

Sleeves sized to clear bearing sizes:

  • Bearing Outer Diameter (mm) 16, 19, 21, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 35, 37

Pilot Packs

Pilots are used to center a bearing or part onto the tool.

You might need a pack of Pilots if you are working on a BSB configuration and you only have one set of Pilots (like you get in the Basic Bearing Press Kit). A second pilot is necessary in centering the tool at the other end of the BSB bike part. It’s helpful if you have a short set of Pilots to then get a long set of Pilots. You can choose either acetal or aluminum long Pilots.

Fits inside bearing sizes:

  • Bearing Inner Diameter (mm)  10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18, 20 & 25
