Christopher Brunsdon Posted May 8, 2014 Share Rather spend R1K on a Dremmel and all its goodies. I built a valve-core remover out of an old screwdriver and it works perfect and much better than any store bought ones. I also changed an old long nose plier into a chain link tool for a fraction of the price of BBB one. I bought the BBB one to see if it was better, should have given that R200 to a bergie. I like going Ghetto as it teaches you how to fix your bike using what you have. MrJacques 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azza Posted May 14, 2014 Share Headset/BB/Bearing press Will this work for internal and external bearing cups ? Edited May 14, 2014 by Azza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meezo Posted May 14, 2014 Share Will this work for internal and external bearing cups ? Yes I've used it on my external cups on the OnOne. And the internal bearings of all my Chinese frames although they just need to be popped in. I've also installed BB30 bearings using this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowta Posted September 26, 2014 Share i thought of doing this but i'm concerned about how strong the spanner will be after grinding How strong does it need to be for cones? fanievb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf Posted September 26, 2014 Share i thought of doing this but i'm concerned about how strong the spanner will be after grinding It is still very stiff. Just dont grind it too flat, just big enough to go onto the cone. and like flowta says,it doesnt need to be very strong for the cones.

Alouette3 Posted June 9, 2015 Share For the Shimano plastic crank nut just use the lever end of a Shimano Quick release! Works like a charm. gummibear and HowardSteele 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
