  • I've balls up many a miche bb cup using a craply machined park (i expect better park) bb tool.
    I've found the best tools by far are the tacx ones with a spring loaded threaded rod that screws into the spindle to keep it in place firmly. I've got a couple of these for different bb's now. Around 20 quid on the internets, gets my thumbs up.

  • ^ +1 - simply the best!

  • Great,
    Thanks for the help.
    I'm gonna try this:

    If that fails I'll get that Tacx thing.

    I wondered about it being for the cassette, but it says it's for the BB too on the website. (chain reaction).
    Nevermind.
    DRILL IT.

  • ^ Had the same issue trying to use that bbb lockring/bb tool on my Miche, problem was that shaft protruding from the centre was causing issue with the tapers and not allowing the tool to go past a certain distance. I just got one of these and all was good once more :http://www.wiggle.co.uk/cyclus-bottom-bracket-tool-for-campagnolo-systems/

  • Pedro's do one similar that is finished a bit better.

  • Any more on this? Or does anyone else have any potenial botches that happen with this BB?

    Going to fit one tomorrow that's been lying around my house for a couple of months and, while fairly self explanatory, I haven't fitted an adjustable BB before.

    Previously I've used a vice to get BBs out and to tighten them up. Reckon that'll not be neccesary? It's a brand new frame with a virgin shell so I'm hopeful it'll slip in easily.

  • Just do the non-drive-side 1st, then the drive-side, like normal.

    I've fitted 3 of these and haven't had any problems. I've used lots of grease (no loctite or anything like that). I used the Tarcx campag tool and a big adjustable spanner.

    Same here, used them for years and never unscrewed or anything.... i use copper grease.
