Yeah, I’m pretty happy so far. It’s surprisingly quiet and very quick.
Not sure the WAO bar shape agrees with me though - I’ll give it a bit longer.

That's good. I'm biased though considering I machined all of the parts on your bike lol. Loving the raw finish.
Thank you - it’s beautifully executed. I had originally ordered one before the intl orders were paused, and the Firebird I got instead didn’t last long before failing.
It’s so good to be one something so well built.

Not sure if that means Enduro is a rip-off (probably) or maybe they're better quality.
I leave you this. Draw your own conclusions...
Their Pro Fork Seal Tool Kit is nice looking. Just need to add a 37 and 38 (okay they have a 38mm add-on now)

For bearing press systems check out altalt.ca or altaltbike on IG for Canadian tools.

Thanks! I was more referring to the bearings themselves, but that's a great link for the pullers. I bought just the one collet for 15-17mm and discovered it didn't fit the slide hammer I already own, so I'll likely end up buying the kit you linked.

Might be worth pointing out that these are two very different tool sets.
The cheap Amazon one has lips on the ends of the pullers, which will deform/damage aluminum spacers/preload tubes used in your frame.
The Enduro set has a smooth end, and relies only on the friction between the puller and the bearing.
I personally wouldn't use blind pullers with lips for this reason.
Bearing Pro Tools sells cheaper ones which have smooth ends, but made of aluminum so won't last as long.

The one I bought from Enduro has a lip, looks exactly like the Amazon photo.
You might be thinking of the wheels manufacturing style ones? I agree they are superior, but twice as much again as the Enduro ones.
I was going to buy that style, but on my linkage the bearings are not totally "blind", there's space behind them, so wasn't really necessary. Because there's space behind the bearing the style with the lip work well.

Wow, and I thought you were culling down the quiver.

I stand corrected. I was thinking of the Wheels Manufacturing ones. The picture on the enduro site really looks like they don’t
If you have the space the lipped ones seem like they would be a great option.
It would be great if there were more steel options than the WM ones, as I agree, they’re exorbitantly priced for a home gamer

And the Stumpy Evo frame just magically appeared. Lol. Looking at your original "bike keeping" thread, you do mention a lack of self control, so at least you're 100% on-brand. Enjoy the toys!
I just built up a Stumpjumper Evo alloy S5. It’s the biggest bike (wheelbase and travel numbers) I’ve owned but it’s a blast so far.
The Evo is a great frame. A riding buddy has one and the adjustability and detailing is great. Enjoy and it would be good to see some more piccys when you're ridden it a bit.
