(I have both and the thread-together one side is prone to turning when you tighten so with just one it's difficult to get decent torque into it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't shimano change their BB cup size so you need the little plastic reducer that fits into the old shimano standard BB tool? As far as I know they sold those reducers with the BBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyLuke Posted December 8, 2023 Share I just use a cloth over the bb, got a big bobbejaan spanner...just remember they both loosen in the same direction😅 W Smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know they sold those reducers with the BBS Yes, they do sell the reducer with the BB (at least the Ultegra one did). But you will need a spanner to fit that reducer into.

Indeed, hence me saying you will need the reducer that fits into the standard Shimano BB tool that droo said he would need...... you likely need both?

I have a PRO tool that has the bb ring, with a set of plastic adaptors. Certainly more sizes and standards out there than I am have seen ...

As far as I know they sold those reducers with the BBS They did indeed, but the 44mm one is the OG HT2 one. No plastic doofer required.
