With smooth action and a quality build, the Abbey Bike Tools Micro Bearing Press - Press Only is designed to let you press in small, delicate hub and suspension bearings, with an inside diameter of 13mm or less, with minimal effort.
Where most press heads are glorified nuts, Abbey Bike Tools has crafted a solid thrust bearing with balls and races, which ensures the pressing action is buttery smooth and isolated from the torque. It can be turned by hand, using the brand's signature finger spline pattern.
A centring cone is also included in the kit, and this can be used on the empty side of your hub, frame or linkage to ensure that the press is concentric with the bore. In the case of excessively tight bearing tolerances, there is a 6mm hex in the top of the press to give you that extra bit of torque to press the bearing into its housing.
The press is designed to be paired with a selection of drifts, available to purchase separately, which are precisely machined, sized to the 1/2” threaded shaft and capable of dealing with different shapes, sizes and styles of bearings.
At the other end of the press, a quick nut slides onto the thread and up to the drift, with no need for excessive turning, then clicks securely into place. It can be easily operated with one hand and offers fast, smooth action, with no pinch risk, making the whole job easier and quicker.
Abbey recommends installing bearings one at a time, using the centring cone, to ensure they settle in straight with minimal fuss and no danger of damage, either to them, the frame or your tools.
The whole Micro Bearing Press is elegantly simple and offers smooth action on hubs and suspension bearings, with minimal effort.
