what bb tool do I need?

  • Anyone know what bb tool I need to remove these?
    I don't know the bb brand.
    I bought an icetools 20 tooth bb tool but it doesn't fit.

  • Looks like gxp/hollowtech etc in the photo, don't know if modern campag have their own thing going on as well. Failing that, stick it in a vice maybe?

  • Looks like parktool bbt-9

  • The ice tools bb tool I'd bought was a socket style one with the same 16 tooth configuration as the park tools bbt-9 but it wasn't deep enough to go over the cups and engage the notches.
    This bbt-9 looks like it will do the job as it's in the style of a ring spanner.
    Tar.

  • That looks to me like the drive side of an Ultra Torque bottom bracket. If it is, I've used a Park BBT-19 to change those in the past .. that's if you're after a socket type.

  • I've used both tools mentioned and would recommend the BBT-9 over the 19. I've found the socket type can slip off and damage the cups, if they are very tight in a frame.

    The mechanics in the shop I used to work in all prefer the BBT-9 too.
