Review on Park Tool BBT-19.2 Bottom Bracket Tool - 16-Notch, Enhanced SEO by Sean Flint

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Will not work with Wheels Mfg BSA external bottom brackets (e.g. BB-MTB-7)

Park Tool claims that BBT-19.2 (this product) with bottom brackets from "Wheels" [Mfg] is working. Not as much. I have Wheels Manufacturing BB-MTB-7 "THREADED MTB ABEC-3 BB FOR 24/22MM CRANKS (SRAM)" and this tool is not working. I also have a Park Tool BBT-69 that doesn't work. The only tool I have that works with a bottom bracket is the Park Tool BBT-9. My problem is that my mountain bike's swingarm is too close to the bottom bracket and therefore needs to be removed to use the BBT-9 tool. I need a cup style tool that will help me install and remove the bottom bracket without taking the suspension apart. Just figure out what tool you think is right for the job, and be prepared to bring it back when needed. This tool (BBT-19.2), BBT-69 and BBT-9 will work with SRAM GXP external bottom brackets, if that's any consolation.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
