  • Bought a frameset with a Shimano external BB in it which I thought I had the right tools to remove. Turns out stupid Shimano decided to make their cups smaller than they used to be and I need an adapter like so

    My question is, does anyone in central have one of these I can borrow? Or where can I get one? I need it tomorrow or friday.

  • I had success just asking for them in a bike shop. They come with new Ultegra BBs so mechanics either chuck them or stick them in a drawer. The Evans near Kings Cross gave me three and didn't want anything for them. @Dammit bought a metal one from somewhere but over torquing caveats apply if you go that route.

  • Over torquing? That's just an adaptor you fit into a great big metal BB spanner. You might be thinking of the low-torque gadget you tighten the cranks on with?
