I dropped $80 on a bearing press set for cartridge hubs last month
I had a customer's gravel bike with a crunchy rear hub, and I was tired of the hammer-and-drift method. The press kit came with all the right size adapters. It made the job so much faster and cleaner, no more worrying about damaging the seals. Anyone have a go-to brand for replacement cartridge bearings, or are they all pretty much the same these days?

What brand did you go with for the press? I grabbed a cheap one off Amazon and it's been solid for my own bikes. For bearings, I just use Enduro or SKF, they seem to last.

Nice, I've heard good things about Enduro. How many miles do you usually get out of a set before they need replacing?

What's the verdict on those cheap press kits? I'm still using a socket and a big C-clamp like a caveman.
