Title: Tioga Sealed BB Trouble
Post by: Gashead on March 29, 2008, 05:14 PM: Need some help fella's !

I opted for a Tioga Sealed BB this time but having trouble getting the nut on that secure's the spider onto the crank !

The nut side obviously needs to sit against the spider as the other side sits onto the bearings - the only trouble I cant get it tight as no tool will fit between the nut and the spider ! I have even used a Tioga spanner and that is too thick in diameter - Any idea's :-\

Post by: Gashead on March 31, 2008, 08:03 PM: Cheers gary that would be spot on !

I went down my mates at the bike shop and his spanner was a tad thick too !!

If you could do one for me that would be great - I got half a dozen of these bb's so it would be a waste not to use them !

Let me know what I owe ya fella

Post by: Gary72 on April 05, 2008, 09:46 AM: Nick, now have spanner waiting to be sent, please PM your adress, once it's posted I will let you know the cost the spanner was £8.95, cant see postage costing more than a quid.
Never noticed before but the spanner is made from 4130 Chromo

Post by: jT Racing on April 11, 2008, 04:32 PM: didn't you buy one off me? i thought you tightened it up prior to fitting and i have never needed a dodgey spanner so far.
