Hi Guys,

I need a favour!

Great way to start my post!

Anyway, I am buying a new chainset and I am buying all the tools to fit it. But the old chainset does not use the same tools..... here comes the favour. I dont wanna buy the tools to only use them once and throw them away with the old Chainset.

I stay in Wanstead. If you anywhere near me, I would well appreciate the help. I am basiclly looking to borrow the tool for five minutes.

Thanks guys

My old chainset is the shimano that has the center lock nut. I think the tool looks something like this:

That tool you link to is for the bottom bracket not the cranks?

How is the crank attached to the bottom braket, by a square or octagonal (ish) section?
