    Don't know about hope but if your bb is properly cleaned and chased you can get away with an old style bb tool with the single 'hook' style. W

    I faced the same problem a few months ago - come to the conclusion that Silverfish (RF UK distributor) are pretty useless - I bought Turbine fatbike crank, but they hadn't bothered importing the BBs or the tool. Using an old-style BB lockring tool would be a good way of mangling the cups - may as well use a blunt chisel and a hammer.

    Ended up going down the hope bsa30 bottom bracket and buying there tool as the bottom brackets have a much better reputation than raceface. Thanks anyway.
