has anyone got / seen one of these for sale anywhere? just been in my LBS and the best the bloke could find was one on amazon for over £50! they were about £10 on CRC but no longer in stock anywhere.

its only for my old hardtail, so if I'm paying that sort of money i'll buy a converter with a 2nd hand slx/xt

BB30 is a press-fit bottom bracket design and doesn't need any tools except a press/drift to install/remove. If you're trying to install a 30mm spindle crank with oversize cups into a threaded BB shell (BSA30) , then suitable tools available from RaceFace, Hope, Rotor and probably Park amongst others - it's a bit bigger than a regular HT2 BB spanner

OK, iz confused so it's actually for the cranks - my Google-fu failed too except Jenson in the US. Does annoy you when they specify proprietary tools and don't supply them with the bike/parts - RaceFace brought our Turbine Cinch cranks without the BB tool a few years ago - only found out after I'd bought the cranks.
