Title: Bearing press from AliExpress
Post by: ENEP on November 30, 2023, 07:06:09 AM
I'm in the market for a bearing press kit. Mostly for bottom brackets, wheel bearings and full suspension mtb frame bearings.

Has anybody bought any of the kits from AliEx? I've identified below options which seem to be good options. Any recommendations?


ZTTO (Looks to be a great kit. Liking the guidetubes and sleeves)

RRS (Cheap. No guide tubes or sleeves - necessary/usefull?)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002754593974.html

AXI (In between above.. Has guide tubes but no sleeves.)

I ordered this kit on the 11-11 sale, but it hasn't arrived yet.

Eventually I will be able to determine how good of quality this kit is, but no recommendations to date.  (I have the Ztto kit in my cart, but saw this other kit on sale so took a chance on it for now.)

I took this one to have a press when not at home.

It is ok, has everything but the DUB size.

Cool, maybe you can report back when you've tried it.

Are you also of the impression that the ZTTO-kit might be the best kit?

I have this : https://www.amazon.com/ZAWAYINE-Bearing-Bracket-Bicycle-Installation/dp/B0BPY56SL8

I got some information about bearing kit from Reddit made by Tenybike. I wasn't able to find that exact same brand on Amazon but this looked exactly like Tenybike's so I took a chance and surprise, surprise! Forget the brand name in the link, the actual kit came with Tenybike logo itched on it. It looks like this exact kit is sold on AliEx by many sellers

I used this to for a few purposes till now - 1. To fit bearings on my ICAN and Superteam wheels 2. Installing headset bearing on Canyon road bike - the middle spindle is just barely enough to cover head tube of size 56 road bike YMMV. 3. Bearing replacement on PF30 bottom bracket. I paid around $40 including taxes and now its gone up to $50 but keep an eye out. If you are not in a hurry, get any one of those blue kits.. they are probably all same.

Hi,

I’m also looking for a bearing press for an upcoming build. And maybe swapping some wheel hub bearings in the future. But none of them seem to have the DUB size ID.

Looking at the blue bearing kit, the same as Coffeebreak and Tijoe, it also doesn’t seem to have the DUB size. Or does the 30*47mm plate work? I thought DUB was a 29mm spindle.

Does anyone have recommendations for a kit that includes the DUB size? Or a part that you can buy separately to install a DUB bottom bracket?

The one I ordered, listed above arrived a couple days ago.  I am impressed with the quality at a great price.  I don't have any bearings that need replacing at the moment so who know when I will actually use the set.

Do you know the thread pitch on that?

No.  I haven't paid any attention to that. Put them into my tool box. When I get some time I will try to look into it.
