After a couple of incorrect purchases via the internet I’d like to gather a 2nd-3rd opinion.
I need to replace the BB on my Tripster ATR.
According to their Site:
• Seat Post: 31.6mm.
• Seat Post clamp: 34.9mm.
• front mech : Band-on 34.9.
• BB: 68mm. British.
• Headset: Integrated, 41.8ø upper, 51.8ø lower, for taper head tube. FSA No.42/ACB
•Sizes: 48cm- 51cm – 54cm – 55.5cm – 57cm – 60cm
So would the following be suitable:

https://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/shimano-dura-ace-sm-bb9000-bsaital-bottom-bracket-cups/aid:592147
And would there be much difference between the two?
Must admit, I’m surprised the last one has died so soon. I have done quite a few KM’s, but I’m pretty good at keeping the bike clean so it’s not had a mega tough life.
Also, tools??
Depending on which one I go for I take it I need:
One of these:

And then adapters either:

Sorry for all the questions….it’s all very confusing for something as simple as a BB.
Thanks as always:
