Other bottom bracket tools strip my centerlock rings due to the chamfer at the edge of the tool. My wheels have very thin centerlock rings. As the teeth go to the edge of this tool, it engages better with the centerlock ring, since it is flat and has teeth all the way around. As a result, the tool is made for aluminum so it isn't as robust as I initially thought. I also don't think it would work to remove an unstuck Other reviews have said that because this tool is so thin, it can be hard on the hands. As for loosening/tightening the centerlock ring, I use a plastic mallet to tap the other end with one hand while holding the tool with my other hand.
It's not the bottom bracket I am familiar with, not the 24mm or 30mm, I overlooked the numbers on the end of it, and didn't realize it until it arrived.
As far as the price goes, it fulfilled the purpose for which I purchased it. I wouldn't recommend it for frequent and/or heavy use, but it works fine for The value I received for my money was excellent.
The plastic cover tool worked perfectly as I removed my Shimano XT crank. Once that was done, I removed the Hollowtech II BB and tightened it. I found it to be quite useful. Just make sure you get a good grip on the handle, as it's quite.
I was initially doubtful that it would work because I thought it seemed thin and the handle might come loose whenever it was In spite of that, the tool worked very well, and you cannot use too heavy a hand as with most bicycle parts. I would recommend it.
Though it is unlikely to be possible for you to apply enough torque to remove the BB manually. You must exert a lot of pressure to apply enough pressure with the thin handle. I ended up tapping the end of the wrench with a dead blow mallet, which worked perfectly.
It was not too tight at the bottom bracket. Though I can see how this tool would be difficult to torque, I was able to do it just fine. The fact that there are two count thresholds in the same tool is pleasing to me.
I found it to be very useful. It does not slip or wiggle on the BB when installing or removing it. The only issue is with the server. Some people have sensitive hands and find that the tool does not feel right to them.
