Shimano PF86 drift size

[batman1425]

Hive mind - anyone know off hand what drift size is used for installation of a Shimano PF86bb? I remember 24x37 or maybe 24x42/44?

24x37 will work or 24x41/42

24x37 is the bearing size if you're replacing bearings in cups like Wheels or Enduro. 24x42/44 is the size for pressing cups with bearings already installed in them, although if the outer dimensions is larger (like with the Abbey Tools press) you'll be fine. You just need the drift to engage the lip of the cup and not touch the bearing.

Thanks, this was what I was looking for.
