As the title suggests - anything that works, pref cheap! Anyone got any doubles they want rid of??

There's a lot of external BB standards and sizes. I have at least 4 external BB tools and none of them fitted my recent Megaevo 386 :'(

Do you know the size and notches you need? I believe the most common is the 12 notch 46 mm.

No problem. What BB is it, do you know? Or what crankset and frame?

It's a fairly recent condor fratello rim brake, Tiagra crankset so I guess some kind of Shimano hollowtech bb?
This is as good as I can do right now, will check tomo

Yeah that's pretty standard. I made a mistake above though. It's a 16 notch 44mm, which is probably the most popular kind. I don't have a spare, sorry.

Both this and the cassette lock-ring tool you need (assuming Shimano 11s) are pretty cheaply found though.

No worries, thanks for your help.
I guess I'll just pick em up online elsewhere :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
