J Trials 31 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hey I bought a BB tool yesterday, but it doesn't fit my BB. I got an FSA bb that came on my Monty. Which tool do I need? Not sure where I can get one either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrat Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) U`ll need a shimano fit one i think. Tarty bikes sell them, and other places like halfrauds Edited February 1, 2009 by markrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) First off what doesn't fit? If the spline in the BB cup doesn't match the tool that's one problem, but if the BB axle is too big a diameter for the tool to fit over it that's a different problem... Head for the Tarty or Chainreaction site and look at their BB tools to see what should fit. Edited February 1, 2009 by psycholist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 The tool is bigger than the BB. Regular Shimano one will work eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Should do, but FSA are bastards for coming up with slightly different designs to those that will fit standard tools, so there's a danger it's an obscure tool, but usually Shimano BB tools will fit provided the hole in the tool is big enough to fit over the axle (I had to buy a new BB tool to fit Echo ISIS BB's for example as even the Race Face ISIS tool I had wouldn't fit over the Echo BB).
