Abbey Team Issue Modular Bearing Press
Description
This press is the backbone of any modern shop. Bearing related work is becoming more and more common on modern bikes and no shop, professional or amature should pass over these tools. The Modular bearing press starts with the press head. Where most manufactures just have a glorified nut we went further by adding a massive thrust bearing. Not a wimpy little plastic washer either, an actual bearing with balls and races. What this means is that 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 ditches the handles in favor of our signature finger spline grip pattern. For those times when things are fitting a little too tight and you don't have the means to correct it, there is 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 it's coarser thread. It also means we have a single diameter to work with and can size our drifts to this dimension, this 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 over the press shaft to the desired location and then click it into place and press away. No endless turning, no pinch hazard and no wasted time. Be aware, the quick nut does require 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

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.

Open Bore adapters, also known as drifts, are used to press cartridge bearings in to bottom bracket cups, hub shells, freehub bodies and suspension frame pivots. Each adapter has a smaller diameter that inserts in to the center of a bearing, and a larger diameter section that matches the outside diameter of the bearing. When used with a bearing press, the adapter presses against the races of the bearing, properly aligns the bearing and prevents damage as the bearing is pressed in.
Our 1526 open bore adapter is used to press 26x15 sealed bearings. The adapter is machined with one step at 15mm OD, which fits in to the center of the sealed bearing.

Sometimes simple tools are the best ones to make, they aren't complicated but small tweaks to the smallest of details can stack up to big improvements in function. The Star Nut Setter is one of those tools. A simple task to install the star nut into a metal fork steer tube so you can preload your threadless headset.
The outer guide slips over the steer tube and make sure that the driver stays straight while you hammer the nut into the steer. The driver has a hard stop to give you a perfect install depth as well. We took the extra clearance out of the two pieces of this tool to refine this design to something worthy of Abbey Green.
