I've never had a CK headset go bad or even slightly bad. I've passed them onto multiple frames, beat the living crap out of them and they still work like new. I probably have one or two that are edging up on 30 years old. His products are expensive and worth every penny.

I had hubs on my recumbent years ago it didn't to help the resale value. now I have dt Swiss no special tools and easy to deal with just using your hands.

well some changes to solid wood and the price went way up because that.

Very cool, @fooferdoggie! Somehow I like the plywood version better than the solid wood one. The link in post #1 gives a price of $230 for the tools only. How much is the case? Not that I service my own hubs, but I do appreciate fine tools.

ya me too. easier to deal with here I have to order the boards from Home Depot though I got free shipping. I don't know on the price yet this is the first batch so we will se. but I think it about doubled what I charged from using the wood over the plywood. apple ply is made in Oregon too s that kept it all local.

Nice work on your part! And pretty tools. My SnapOn wrenches never made my cages any faster…

this is only needed if you want to fully disassemble the hubs and you don't need it for maintenance.
