He put a link in an earlier post but I couldn't find the press on the linked site. I too would love to know where I could get it for that price.

Ah:

http://www.eu-bikeshop.com/g97/tools/ Seems to be the go to place. He also mentioned an eBay shop. Wish I'd seen that link sooner!

@avdave2 Look for bearing press.

Don't like that your address data is all entered unencrypted. Could be anyone you're giving the details to.

Yep , eu-bikeshop is the place to go.

I saw them on ebay first and thought I would have a look to see if they have a webstore too(which they do).

The prices on the webstore seem slightly cheaper than their ebay store(probably to cover ebay costs)

All seems genuine enough I had prompt email replies,emails to say order received/dispatched inc Tracking no's.

And can't fault there prices,link to headset press below

Plus I paid via Paypal so if theres any problems they will feel my wrath!

Paid via Paypal as well. How long did it take to turn up? Did you say 3 working days?

curiousyellow - how much did it cost you with the postage? I'm certainly tempted, I've made a home made press but found it struggles with the initial line up and ended up using the rubber mallet to start it off.

Took about 5 days for the postage which I don't think is unreasonable especially with the cost savings involved.

Postage for me was $15.99 which was for a Pedal wrench,Chain Tool and the Headset press was is a couple of Kilos on its own.

The headset press is definetly a good bit of kit I don't know how it compares to others but makes fitting a doddle.

I have used a mallet and block of wood in the past and also a home made creation with threaded bar,all seem to work to varying degrees but the proper tool is much easier and more professional and for me as I intend to do more bikebuilding and repair work is a worthy investment.
