Torque wrench readings: stiction. A bolt that moves until 5 Nm will always show higher readings when you try to move it again because static friction is higher than moving friction.

[@Skracken]

Was about to comment this. You cant test a torque wrench like this. You need a proper tester

[@somebodyelse5]

stiction baby ;)

@@robertmcfadyen9156 The one I use at work is bolted to a bench, so it's not likely to be dropped. It's a Gedore Dremotest, which is about $1k. Not something you buy and use in your garage, sure, but not THAT expensive.

[@tdstevenhall]

Love the video. Bit…. Testing a torque wrench by checking the torque to move the fastener already torqued fails to take into account static friction. It always takes a little extra to get the fastener moving again. A better way would have been to connect the test wrench to the park beam torque wrench using a 1/4” hex bit and simply compare measurements on the scales.

[@LawrenceMacMacster]

The most accurate way to calculate torque is to measure fastener stretch. That would be the better test 🤘

[@xXRunDeathXx]

It also really depends how you hold the torque wrench

[@skunkycatog]

He’s not torque test channel 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@MrKOenigma]

But if you do it the other way, first fasten with the expensive one, then use the cheaper one... You should have the same result, due to friction

[@jsppjspp6559]

So true! If you disagree, you don't understand mechanics and probably won't get right torque with any wrench.

[@CatherineGriffiths-p7o]

The toopre derailleur hanger alignment tool can be adjusted to take the play out by tightening the detent on the black rod that screws to the hanger using the allen key that comes in the kit.

[@JohnSmith-zy1ur]

[@joehart3826]

This is common across super b and park etc. But Often it then becomes hard to rotate

I have the same tool, I can confirm it has no play once u adjust it properly, is a great tool to have at home.

[@mikuramsay]

Its also possible to just keep it under tension the whole time while measuring, it's how I got by with mine for a while.

[@rizaldiryanryan]

glad to be known that

[@mcrides5967]

The torq wrench one is incorrect. When you retighten a bolt with the same Nm setting, it does not stay at the set adjustment, as you are retightening it. The only thing you are achieving is increasing the tightness. There’s an interesting article on Pinkbike that explains it. That’s why it is recommended that once the torque wrench indicates that you’ve reached the set force, you should leave it and not recheck, because all you’re doing is tightening it more.

[@rustymustard7798]

About 25 years ago i needed to break open a cassette with no access to a cassette tool so i made one out of a socket with an angle grinder. I still have it to this day and even use it occasionally lol.

[@Kumek01]

I made a cone key, or whats it called, with my grinder. Weird thing it was cheaper to destroy a normal wrench and buy a new one than to buy the one for cones...

[@rustymustard7798]

@@Kumek01 Yep, and a ground down wrench works better than most cone wrenches outside the good Park or Pedro's ones. Same for my motorcycle, i could pay like $100 for a rotor puller wrench or i could just heat up and bend an old 1 1/8" open end into a funky L shape for basically free.

[@avocette]

As an independent bike mechanic (I provide services), I've personally used the Toopre HAG but the steel version (I was afraid that the aluminum version wasn't strong enough). The retaining set screw on the hanger side is easily adjustable and there is very little to no play. Granted, the probe rod is very barebones but all the essential functions and requirements are fulfilled and it almost has the same finish as the park tool one.

Hi Seth, just a tip for comparing torque wrenches. Tighten with the first one, use a marker to note the relative position, untighten, and tighten with the second torque wrench. That way static friction doesn't throw you off.

[@jimbrovont7014]

On the tubing cutter, if you align the larger roller to the inside of the bar, it will minimize the external burr as it will roll the kept edge down as it cuts.

[@pleasetouch612]

this!!

[@kortzcom]

Also, you don't want to cut very deep. The deeper the cut each time around, the bigger the burr.

Hi Seth, regarding the bearing press, it's just a bearing press. I've used it to change pivot bearings on my bike. It works very well!

[@haemmertime]

One additional advice, don't buy bearings at the bike shop. They are standardised and you get them much cheaper from specialised shops. At least here in germany you get an entire set of bearings for the price of a single one at the bike shop.

[@Vallecaucanisimo]

True! I would also advise don’t buy then at McMasterCarr either since the markup is quite steep.

[@GelMibson-u2y]

@@haemmertime good advice. Just look on the seal, there should be a standardized number. Just Google and buy.

[@Azzysdesignworks]

@@Vallecaucanisimo That markup comes with 1 day delivery and a no questions asked return / replacement warranty. Well worth it when you can call the company, In the same country you are in, and get service immediately.

[@WestRipStiker]

For pivot bearings and wheel bearings, definitely! As a bike mechanic, the one exception, IMHO, would be pressfit BB bearings (Trek BB90 especially). Many of the delrin casings around pressfit BB's (ie PF30) are not dimensionally stable enough to handle direct bearing replacement. With BB90 in particular, there is a non-zero chance that the frame has been wallowed out and needs a +.01 or higher oversize bearing to prevent further damage. Specialized BB's in certain vintages also have this problem with OsBB. Less of an issue for headset bearings, but often those are harder to find. headset bearings can have a few different angles on the axial surfaces where they are preloaded, and knowing exactly which ones to get is annoyingly hard, even in a bike shop with the knowledge on where to find them. Bike "standards" are really just a way to not have to pay a patent holder for the right to use their design, even if it is clearly better.

[@ArdianSutarjan]

agreed

[@jbstillman]

I just added half these tools to my AliExpress cart. Many I had already, or different versions that have been working well for the past couple years. I've found that if I end up using the tool a LOT, then when it wears out or breaks, I will spend the money on the Park Tool. It's a good gauge on how much you will use the tools too, and gets you into fixing stuff on the cheap. Great video, I love ali express review vids for hobbies!

I have one of those bearing presses and have used it a ton. The only recommendation i have is for people to grease the thread just to prevent rust. I don't think you missed anything with an extractor. I got one separately that was a POS but did the job. But I've been blown away by how well machined the parts are and how accurate the actual solid aluminium bearimg presses are as well.

[@oliverneubauer7131]

I got that bearing press kit _with_ the box. It's legit and one of the best values for a tool I've ever found. But yeah, you aren't missing anything: no expanding ring-style extractors were included. But...depending on the flange in which the bearing is seated you might be able to get away with using a smaller drift to push against only the inner bearing race/ring from the other side. You'd need an appropriate sized "cup" to brace against and catch the bearing (and those cups are not included either). If you're throwing away the bearing anyway because it's trashed, pushing only on the inner race is probably fine.

[@pilotsevendoes]

Can you link it

[@mamo4731]

I have exactly the same one he got, got all the bearings out by pushing the inner race except for one which exploded and the outer was stuck in the swingarm. Tool was 100% worth it.

[@pishpash75]

lol yes, "extractor" is a flat screw driver 99% of the time. altaltbike sells actual expanding ones

[@pishpash75]

@funky-phantom yeah you probably won't - just as likely to get a QC reject or something that skipped any quality checks altogether

[@juliangarrett6373]

I have found using a ‘ring’ of pvc pipe as a good cup to extract the bearing into. You can still use this bearing press. You press the bearing into the cup so there’s room for it to move out of the bicycle linkage arm. The pvc is great at not marring the paint. PVC pipe couplings are nice premade rings

[@chapinalex]

Oh man... what timing! I've spent what feels like an eternity over the last few weeks trying to figure out if that exact budget bearing press is worth it (If can actually do what it says it does). Im actually glad to hear that an extractor system don't seem to be included, as in the end I went with the kit from Alt/Alt. Thanks as always, Seth!

[@ericrenz5431]

6:56 there’s a little problem here, you see when we torque down a bolt it’s moving but here when you test the accuracy the bolts a still and except for clutch material every two materials have a higher breaking free friction than the moving friction (not sure what the correct words are in English 😂) so a bolt that’s torqued to perfect 5 ft-lb would turn a little if the next torque wrench is set to 5,5 or 6 ft-lb…hope this makes sense 😂

[@terrydavis7389]

cheap cheap tools certainly have a place in every toolbox, especially if its a tool that works, but isnt needed often, no reason to spend high dollar for a tool that is gonna just sit and collect dust. i certainly have my share of cheap jungle site tools, and they work for the task just fine.

Thats correct! I use them very little since I dont have a shop, I just do mechanics to my own bike, but for frequently used tools (besides my bike) i like to spent as much as i can since it helps you work better and faster.

[@-IE_it_yourself]

it is amazing what you can do with sketch tools. but... for bike specific tools looks for tools make by people involved in the bike industry. sure they cost a bit more, but they also designed it themselves and did just rip of someones design.

For extracting just use a larger bearing on outside edge of bearing recess and use it to pull out. For derailleur hanger you may be able to add a washer ro take out the free play.

Greetings from a Belgian fan!

[@geoffwnz]

I have that bearing press kit. I managed to get the boxed one though. To extract bearings you use a smaller die and a socket as you've suggested to push them out. Worked well on my Trek Slash bearing set. I also did get a bearing puller kit with slide hammer but none of the puller heads actually stayed in the bearings when trying to yank them out. Ended up just pulling the puller head through the bearing inner. Reverted to the press kit as above.

[@tehcrashzord]

I have the same bearing press set and it's done a fantastic job so far when i need to press a new bottom bracket once yearly. Even with the case it's cheaper than paying for a service in the bike shop. Still needed to buy an extractor tool separately though.

[@nick_john]

Isn’t there a way to use the press itself as an extractor by somehow putting the press disc inside the bearing and another larger one on the other side and then threading it the other way?

[@bcrides6717]

what extractor do you use? im considering buying this press but can it do headset bearings too? or do i need another one?

[@tehcrashzord]

@@bcrides6717 if it can do bottom bracket bearings it should be able to do headset bearings too, there's quite a few different size discs.

Seth, you can take the play out of the derailleur alignment gauge with a wipe of grease on the shaft of the attachment bolt where it goes through the "head" of the arm. Since it's aluminum on aluminum, it'd be a good idea to grease it anyway.

[@p5y4n1d3]

I bought the same bearing press kit a year ago, mine was much darker blue and came in the case you mentioned. It's a tremendous value, when I was running the service department at the local LBS I bought the Wheels MFG version of the same thing and our cost(well below MSRP) was about $300 Cdn and also had no extractors lol(no hate against Wheels MFG, their product has a much nicer press and top notch finish). Ran into a similar situation when our owner grabbed an Enduro branded blind bearing puller for ~$200 cost ($360 MSRP). I liked it so much I looked later that month for a personal blind puller set for cheap on Amazon... I found the EXACT same set, case and all for $80. All that was missing was the Enduro sticker and price gouge.

Enjoyed the video a lot. I have the same cutters even! You know, for us home mechanics, we don't actually need the high end expensive tools.

Was great to point out about the adverts on Uncle Ali as when "in a rush" its so easy to say, yep, that's it and order the wrong part!

[@soldier2gud4me]

If there's a cup to fit over the bearings that's what you'd use as an extractor and on the other side would be the same size of the bearing but little bit longer to push it through. The cup would be slight bigger than the bearing, that's where all the force is to hold the tool in place so the press can work to push the bearing into the cup.

[@freedomofmotion]

To use the oress as a removal tool you use one of the tools that matches the OD of the internal surface of the bearing rather than outter surface. The catch is it only works on single bearing locations. Not sure if i explained the properly .

[@Koolicyde]

Like the other guy said about the bearing press - put a cup on the other side of what you're removing that the bearing can fall into and then tighten it up so that it pulls it out into the hollow space of the cup.

When replacing bearings on trick scooter wheels, it’s important to press the bearings in evenly to maximize their life. Hammered in bearings last about 2 months, where bearings pressed in (i use an arbor press) last 6 months or more. Not to mention so much easier to press them in. Pressing in bike bearings versus hammering them in will likely have similar 3x life length results.

[@chrisfanning5842]

[@qwertyazerty2137]

I recently bought one from a brand Lebycle, the orange one. It's looks the same as this toopre one but the rotating shaft fits into the bushing with very tight fit having zero play so I guess it's more accurate the the toopre. The shaft has a spring-loaded ball adjusted by a grub screw and it clicks when you insert the sahft. I suppose this also contributes to the tight fit. The tool also came with an adapter that allows you to install it into the headset starnut in place of the headset cap to be able to align the brake levers and/or brofters, but I found it inaccurate.

Those torque wrenches have the issue that the torque delivered depends on where you hold it, if you just balance the bit and apply force at the edge of the tool it will read higher than if you hold the tool closer to the bit as your hand counteracts some of the flexing that is used to read the torque value

Tbf, my Chinese bearing press kit has saved me a fortune. Cost me £40 3 years ago and done about 7 bikes so far. I’ve used on to push out car bushes too!

The way Seth explains how things work is the way I needed my teacher to explain math to me to understand it 😂 12 years of school met maybe 1 twacher during summer school that taught like that and I understood 😅

The bearing press is awesome, have used to replace push fit bb, and the bearings in front and rear hubs and free hub. I would be interested to know more about the best tool for extracting bearings as that was the hardest part with the above tasks

Props for the editor for matching Boiiiii with the music in the intro 😂

I have the hose cutter, and the bearing set. Glad to see that i wasnt missing something so just bought a seperater bearing extractor

[@pilotsevendoes]

Can you link the press

[@ScottB-k7v]

If you want a pipe cutter - get one at HomeDepot, Lowes, Ace, etc. They have removable cutting wheels and can be used elsewhere.

Park tool wire cutters have been worth the extra $ compared to the ones that Seth has demoed. I used that same pair for about a year before it got too dull to cut.

The Ztto stuff is pretty good usually. You need to know what you’re looking for but they have some good stuff. For example a pretty neat dropper lever, with a ball bearing

My $8.16 cable Cutters came with 6 brake cables, 6 shifter cables and housing for both for $20.00. I keep them in the shop and they have just started to show some wear after about 40 cables or so.

I have that bearingpress set, it does the job, the machined parts seem to fit nicely on the bearings I have used so far. It's not a bearing extractor though.

[@pilotsevendoes]

Can you lint the press

[@Dantutz]

To break the friction in a given bolt threads, you need to apply waaaaaay more torque than initially used to tighten it down. So it doesn't work like you've shown.

[@JimEckhardt]

Toopre and Zitto have been fairly good for me so far. 👌🏻. In fact, they have been better than my parktool equivalents in every case.
