Bottom bracket tool recommendation
Hi all
I want to remove my bottom bracket so need to buy the right tool.
The bike is a Trek pilot 1.2 if that helps.
It has a lockring type device on it, the OD is 40mm, there are 8 slots, and the depth of the slots is 1.5mm.
Are these a standard size on all bikes, or do I need a specific tool?
I have seen this http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lezyne-splined- ... cket-tool/. Would this fit?
Also, is it just the lockring that needs removing,or is there something else under it?
Many thanks

It says bontrager select on the cranks, is that what you mean, or am I looking for a specific number on the lockring?
Theres a load of numbers on there relating to shell size and what not.

8 slots makes iot sound like a octolink type tool. Some Octalink cups use the 20 spline ISIS/square taper tool and some I have seen use a 8 pin tool.
Park do one called the BB-18. Park tools or cyclus is what I use in the shop and they have not failed me yet.http://www.thecycleclinic.co.uk -wheel building and other stuff.0
