I want some drifts for hope hubs. They don't yet do any to fit the pro 2 and pro 2 EVO freehub bodies.
Wonder if there might be enough interest for it to be worth someone running a few off.
can't imagine you'll need tool steel for a drift for interference fit bearings on a bike hub, aluminium alloy would be sufficient, that's what the proII ones are made from (I think, off to shed to check...)
^ think mine are a bit rusty...
Try Troutie 😉
I'll sort you something out if you send me a sketch and some sizes. I'll have something tool steel-ish lying around.

Whats wrong with a blind bearing puller for removal and a socket of the correct size for replacing? Its what I use and takes about 2 minutes for a front bearing set and a few minutes longer for the rears?
Yep, sockets here too, perfect really. If I was going to make up fitting tools I'd add a wee detente to keep it centred in the bearing for easy use but otherwise there's nothing to improve on.
Sockets work at a pinch but a proper tool has a squarer edge and is actually the right size rather than just being close.
By the way, if anyone is interested, Bullandbladder sorted me out and they worked a treat. Worth giving him a shout if you're after anything similar.
