Sorry, I'm a little reluctant to try the hammer approach at present!

I've actually had the BB taken out at BLB. It cost me a tenner, but I've had it left out as I'm trying to unseize the seat post, so I guess another tenner to put back in. :(

I'll need to take it out again at some point in the near future as I'm going to have the frame powder coated, so I was thinking about maybe buying a tool.

The BB itself is Sakae it says on it 1.37" x 24T, I have another bike with a Campag BB which looks very similar.

Fox, where are you based if I could borrow that would be fantastic!

I am looking to buy a bottom bracket tool ASAP suitable for this type of BB:

Thanks all for your help, I live 2 mins from a Halfords so am going to try this:

Fingers crossed!

Is it this place? http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/directory/1142/13884.php

dmc - That's very generous of you, hopefully I will find a shop but if all else fails I may come crying to you.

Andy, I'm in Bethnal Green, so could get down easily to Waterloo. Do you know what the shop is called?

I have a seized seat post it's moving a bit but not enough. Hoping plus gas will do it.

Rik, I've tried WD-40, but it's not really enough. :(

Thanks Rik, I tried my local hardware store already, and have looked on the Halfords and Leyland websites, but couldn't find any Plus Gas...

Are there other brand / generic penetrating oils that these places might stock?

Cheers

Anyone know where I can pick up some Plus Gas penetrating oil in London?

nice to meet you!

Hi,

This is a bit of a long shot as I've got to get it sorted on my day off tomorrow, but if anyone in reach of Bethnal Green has a bottom bracket spanner, and doesn't mind me bringing the bike round to take out the BB I would be extremely grateful!

Got to be tonight or tomorrow morning though!

I'm fairly new to this so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's the Campag style of BB spanner required. See pic attached:

Thanks

Ben

oh sod it! THREE

Just to clarify - I meant 3 times in a single thread

Hi, lurker needs to start thread and PM - so now posting! I've already posted 3 times in different threads but I still can't start a new one. Do I need to post 3 times in an existing thread to become a member?

shame i'm so short :(

I could be interested in the pair if you'll take a good price. Could collect tomorrow. I'm new around here though so I don't think I can PM you.

I'd be interested in the saddle and maybe the seatpost
