I am trying find one of these in the UK at reasonable money but can't find one. They all seem to be outside the UK.

Anyone recently got one and can advise where to go ?
Thank you

    Check if Madison UK stocks it... if they do, then any shop can order it for you if you can't find it online. If Madison doesn't stock it, then forget about it

    Not sure what constitutes 'reasonable money', but it's in stock here http://www.evanscycles.com/products/par ... t-ec057066

    And at Amazon for a bit less http://www.amazon.co.uk/Park-Tool-BBT-9 ... B00426BAGQ

    The tool the OP linked to will remove the bearings ok (in fact it looks like a headset race removal tool for conventional headsets), but won't press the new ones in. For that you need a press tool. The Amazon ad shows the Park one - at £120! I'm sure you can get cheaper BB press tools but not very cheap. The suggested HHP-3 tool is £66 on Amazon.

    I've made one of them myself at work :wink:
    I just thought the correct tool for removal c/w the cups for fitting would be a wise investment rather than bugger up my shiny new Carbon frame !!
    The Amazon site says it's supplied by Koo bikes.

    Indeed the removal tool looks exactly like the headset one.
    I also have the headset press from Park, I wonder if that would do the job for BB? It comes with a few different sized drifts.

    The BBT 90.3 is smaller than a standard headset rocket tool, since it's designed to fit inside bearings that take a 24mm spindle.

    The headset press will work fine but you'll need bushings that won't damage the bearings - either the ones that come with the BBT or a third party, or some washers/bits and bobs of the right size.
