New Shimano XT BB

[ChrisL]

Hi

 

Anyone know where i can get a shimano tl-fc25. It's the tool for the newer XT BB. I have the tool for the older BB but it's too big for the newer one. Apparently there is a plastic adapter ring/tool that should have come with the BB, but i didn't receive such. I've asked a number of LBS in the area, none of them have a tool to sell me, they'd all rather I take my bike in to them, but i like doing things myself.

 

Wanna ride on Sunday, current BB pretty poked. Realize i may need to just take it in, but thought maybe ask first.

 

Thanks.

Sorry that's the threaded BB not press-fit.

That little plastic goodie comes with the new BB.  Surely your LBS should just give you one?  Changing them out all the time will leave them with heaps of the things lying around. 

What area are you in?

Well... I had also hoped that a LBS would be able to spare one. Hey, i'll even pay a reasonable price for one.
