What you do yourself...
Buy bracket + press= cheaper than going to the bike shop. Finally sticking out bracket myself. The pf30 side is too big to fit in the bearing of the dub bracket, but with the 24 side this is still no problem.

Value for money, very nice complete set for pressfit bb.
Very handy and leans very close to more expensive professional equipment.

All in a toolbox that does require some extra patience
Long doubted if this toolbox was the right one to replace my pressfit bottom bracket. There are several reviews that are not so positive about the tool to remove your old bearing cups. I myself have now had experience with the 22/24 mm tool. And yes, I can't deny that it is a tricky job, but if you pay close attention to what you are doing you will manage to remove your bearing cups just fine in 1-2 minutes without damage to your frame or the tool itself. All you need is a hammer and a 17mm socket wrench from your own toolbox. The rest of the supplies are in this case. Tips on what to look out for to make removing the old bearing cups easier: - the 3 metal parts that you attach to the extrusion tool with a rubber band, it is best to first slide forward a bit on the tool. You can then squeeze together more easily after which, when you slide into the bottom bracket, they automatically separate and slide backwards. - Carefully slide the metal extrusion tool through the axle. Do this with feeling and then if all goes well you will feel/hear the 3 metal loose parts "click" behind your bearing cup. The end of the extrusion tool now protrudes +/- 1.5 cm through your shaft. - Use one hand to center the tool in the shaft and at the same time make sure to give the tool some pre-pressure. This will prevent the tool from bouncing back after each hammer blow and the 3 separate parts will shoot askew. With your other hand you can then hold the hammer. - I exchanged the rubber hammer for a standard metal claw hammer after 3 blows. This gives much more impact at the back of the tool. You just have to be more careful not to accidentally miss ;-). In short, the extrusion tool works fine as long as you have the patience to apply it properly. Don't expect a tool that you can just blindly ram through your shaft. The tool to install the new bearing cups is super simple. The blue rings have one side for 22/24mm and for 30mm shafts. Finding it hard to tell when the bearing cups are snug so you don't need to tighten any further? See if you can get a piece of paper between the bearing cup and the frame. If the piece of paper can still fit between the gap between the bearing cup and the frame, you can tighten it a little more.

Not bad
First use a bit tricky as I'm not used to it, but you soon get the hang of it.

Fine and convenient
We still had to purchase a separate tool to get the Bottom bracket out properly

Solid product, seems to me to be of much more frequent use. Fortunately, I only need it sporadically.
It was a little tricky to fix the loose plates with the rubber band for removing the brackets. The principle and position is not explained very clearly. But the starting position is higher up on the bar. After insertion, the partitions went easily to the "open position" and the brackets were fairly easy to remove. Make sure you work optimally perpendicular while hammering it out by guiding the rod well with supplied adapters that you also need for installing the new brackets. By the way, that went fine as well.

Quite a bit of patience and hard hitting
It took me at least 2 hours to knock the whole thing out, so I used more materials to remove the bearings, a hacksaw and a screwdriver to loosen the plastic housing.

Quality tool, moderately suitable for SRAM GXP
Clearly quality tools! Everything feels heavy and solid. Installing the GXP bottom bracket is very easy. Extruding the 22mm side does not go decently with this tool, the 3 'roses' you secure with rubber bands are for 24mm do not fit through the 22mm side of the GXP bracket. If I need to replace a GXP bracket again I would order the BTL-113 with it!
