Removing XTR SM BB93

revmatt

Hi folks

Just bought a frame fitted with an XTR SM BB93:

My standard tool for removing a BB30 is too big.

Apparently the XTR was supplied with an adaptor which I do not have, thus cannot remove the BB.

Does anyone know exactly and specifically which tool/adaptor I need to remove the BB linked above?

Many thanks

Matt

Looks like any normal threaded shimano hollowtech 2 BB so any tool to fit/remove them should work. Depending on what you want to pay they probably range from £2-20. A quick look at crankset tools on CRC should bring up a few.

I have a standard bb removal tool.

The XTR cups are smaller and may have come with an adaptor, I'm not hugely experienced but can remove a BB30 with a standard tool. This XTR bb is different, hence the query.

Does anyone have experience with this BB?

Hollowtech 2 isn't bb30 though. I've only used XT BBs however.

This is the one I can remove:

I have 3 and the park tool.

The XTR linked above is, annoyingly, different!

yeah, that's not a BB30 bottom bracket (which is a push-fit standard) - it's a Hollowtech II - hence the earlier confusion.

Regardless, you appear to be right about the difference in sizes (it's a new one on me), and the tool you need has the shimano code TL-FC24
