Hi all
Does anyone know of a good 8 notch bb tool that you can attach to a 1/2" ratchet handle. All the ones I've seen just need a (huge) adjustable spanner to opperate them and I'd rather not have to spend £15+ on one. If the worst comes to the worst I'll just buy the relavent socket (32mm for most I believe) but as I said would preffer it if there was one I could use straight off with out spending more as i've already spent over £100 on tools for this bike build!
Cheers

    Dunno if I'm being blind but just had a look on there tools page and could only see 20 spline and hollowtech ones, not 8 notch? :?

    The old style ones don't work like that.... Hence nobody making one :)

    For what BB?

    It is unbranded as far as I can tell. Here is a pic of the side with writing on.

    Looks like a 123 Quad Isus BB.
