Review on 🚲 Reusability of ISOAR Bicycle Bottom Bracket Tool for SRAM Dub BSA30, Crafted from Lightweight Aluminum Alloy 7075 by Michael Domus

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect DUB bottom bracket tool for home mechanics

If you are planning to install/remove a DUB threaded bottom bracket (BSA) then you will need a special tool to fit the slots properly. Park Tool is great for this purpose, but costs around $30. This very simple tool does the job perfectly. Given that I'll probably only be using this tool for a year or two, I just can't justify using the $30 Park tool. Note that you MUST use a torque wrench to properly tighten the bottom bracket shells into the frame. This tool obviously does not work with a torque wrench. Also, the handle is a bit short so there isn't much leverage. However, if you combine this with a rubber mallet, you can tap the handle lightly until you've properly tightened the cups in the frame. If you're a home mechanic, this is the perfect tool to add to your toolbox.

  • Pretty packaging
