Review on 🚲 BIKEHAND Bicycle Bike Tool for Easy Removal of Shimano Bottom Bracket by David Burns

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perfect for Lifecore Assault Air Bike Bottom Bracket

I needed to remove a crank arm from a Lifecore Assault Air bike so I ordered this tool. The fit was perfect. I was surprised to learn that the Assault bike uses common BB removal tools, but there is very little information online to know which tool or even a video on how to do it. Thing is, I couldn't find a video showing how it's done. Sadly, even Lifecore, the company behind the Assault Air Bike, doesn't provide instructions or help with bike maintenance. There are a few videos showing how it's done on other bikes, but not the Assault Bike. I was debating whether to get this bike hand removal tool or pay a lot more for the park bottom bracket tool. Of course I decided to do it. Some reviews of this kind scared me, but I quickly found that this tool works as it should, at least for my purposes. What I like about this tool: It fits the car perfectly. Made from high quality steel. Attractively priced. What I don't like: You have to use a 1/2 ratchet, hence 4 stars. For my purposes, this tool was just what I needed to service my Lifecore Assault Airbike. I have not experienced any problems or issues with this tool that others have experienced. I've attached a video of how I remove the slide. Also, 3 bracketed photos were removed. I hope this helps those working on the Assault Air Bike.
