Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

Hi All,

I've recently completed my share of big hills this year and wish to swap back to my Standard Shimano Hollowtech Chainset for crits and racing. Does anyone have the required BB tool and torque wrench (i'll need one as I have no idea how tight is tight enough)? I've been told it's quite easy.

I can barter with wine or beers.

Cheers,
Noel

I've got the BB tool but no torque wrench

I have a torque wrench

Why do you need a bb tool to swap a chainset?

Allen key. Torque wrench (get one if you are going to do any work on your carbon bike) and one of these

Very easy job. Unless I am missing something?

Should also adjust front derailleur height and will probably need a longer chain.

You need the end of the Park tool BB tool to attach the crank cap to remove the side to side play. Then Allen key to tighten the non drive side crank to the spindle.

Good point re derailleur height. Is there a good guide to getting the height correct? I've got the old chain so sweet on chain length.

Just checked that URL. That's the bit on the Park BB tool. Didn't realise it was a separate bit.

I was in the bike shop today and ponied up and got a torque wrench and the little doodad to tighten the crank cap. All good to go now.
