Steady Spin Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 I understand stock shortages but why on earth is it so difficult to find this tool? I need the Park Tool BBT-79 but I can't find one anywhere. Some help or tips would be great Alternatively if I can come to someone and quickly remove and install onto a new frame. 30 minutes of your time would be great!

Waiting for a "quote" Need one urgently though so ordering through a LBS isn't great. call east city cycles. or chat on website....they are pretty quick to confirm stock. if it doesnt have to be parktool, the Icetool m097 is the same thing aparently. 12 notch For FSA BB386Evo, Hawk Racing BB3086, RaceFace Cinch, Rotor BSA30, Zipp Vuma and other external bottom bracket systems. Hardened CrMo steel. Use with 1/2" driver. Also fits SRAM DUB. Edited March 28, 2022 by MORNE

OP - Olympic Cycles usually has every bike part or tool known to man in their shop. Give them a shout. Wayne pudding Mol, MORNE and Steady Spin 3
Steady Spin Posted March 28, 2022 Author Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) East City showed stock online. Called them and guess what.... no stock. This after placing my order. I really don't enjoy online shopping in this industry. Edited March 28, 2022 by Steady Spin Wayne pudding Mol 1

Earliest appointment I can get is Thursday.

Which means the LBS only needs to replace hoses and bleed the brakes on Friday. Wayne pudding Mol 1
MORNE Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 yea I must say, ive walked into lbs down here every time I build/sell a bike and asked to press/remove a BB or headset, and i've NEVER been turned down when asking nicely. I mean a BB is literally a 2 min job. It takes longer to fasten the frame to the bike stand lol. Even CWC helped me out once....and they are the proverbial devil these days haha. Blacksheep at Hoogekraal has hooked me up once, Knipe has hooked me up once, BMC another time, Evo Bikes too - (yes they have a workshop). local support gets you favs☺️ lechatnoir and Wayne pudding Mol 2
