LEBYCLE HUB BEARING PRESS KIT

Professional-Grade Bearing Service for the Home Workshop.

The Lebycle Hub Bearing Puller Pro Kit is a comprehensive solution designed for the precise installation and removal of cartridge bearings in bicycle hubs, freehubs, and even some suspension pivots. Unlike basic threaded-rod kits, the Pro Kit features a built-in thrust ball bearing in the handle, which ensures a smooth, low-friction press action that prevents the "binding" often felt with cheaper tools.

Constructed from CNC-machined 7075 aluminum alloy and high-strength steel, the kit uses a specialized tapered drift design. This ensures that pressure is only applied to the outer race of the bearing during installation, protecting the delicate internal ball bearings and races from side-load damage.

Key Features

• Integrated Thrust Bearing: The handle features a ball-bearing interface that provides a smooth, consistent feel and significantly reduces the effort required to press in tight bearings.

• Comprehensive Drift Set: Includes 18 pairs of precision-machined drifts covering almost every common cycling size (e.g., 6000, 6001, 6800-6806, 6900-6903, and more).

• Blind Bearing Removal: The specialized puller set is designed to extract "blind" bearings where there is no access from the back, a common issue in many modern rear hubs and freehubs.

   

• T-Type Threaded Screw: Utilizes a heavy-duty T-style thread (similar to those on industrial CNC machines) which increases clamping tension and reduces wear on the tool itself.

• Multi-Function Versatility: While optimized for hubs, the kit's wide range of adapters makes it suitable for bottom brackets (BB70, BB86, BB92, BB30) and frame pivot bearings.

• Anodized Finish: All aluminum components feature a hard-anodized coating for superior corrosion resistance and professional shop-ready durability.

Technical Specifications

✅ Why This IS For You

• Serious DIY Mechanics: If you maintain a fleet of bikes and want a single, organized kit that handles everything from wheel hubs to press-fit bottom brackets.

• Custom Wheel Builders: The high precision and outer-race-only pressure ensure that expensive ceramic or high-end steel bearings are installed with zero damage.

• Shops & Mobile Mechanics: The Pro Kit's durability and smooth action make it a reliable daily driver for professional environments where speed and accuracy are required.

❌ Why This May NOT be for you

• Casual Riders: If you only replace a set of bearings once every few years, a more basic kit or the "threaded rod and washer" DIY method may be more cost-effective.

• Weight-Sensitive Travel Kits: While comprehensive, the full kit is relatively heavy at over 3kg; for a portable race-day kit, a compact Single-Size Press might be better.

• Proprietary Hub Standards: While extremely compatible, some highly specific hubs (like certain Chris King or Campagnolo models) may still require their own brand-specific proprietary drifts.

BFC Pro Tip

When using the Lebycle Pro Kit, always ensure the hub shell is clean and free of old grease or grit before installing the new bearing. Apply a thin layer of high-quality waterproof grease (like Muc-Off Bio Grease to the outer race of the bearing. This not only makes the press action smoother but also prevents the bearing from "creaking" once installed and makes it much easier to remove when it eventually wears out.
