Hello,
I wonder if someone could help me please. I need to press some headset cups and a bb71 bottom bracket into my frame and wondered if some has a tool to use.

I'm in chipping Sodbury in Bristol and would happily exchange the use / service for some beer tokens or something of your choosing (within reason).

I've enquired in my local bike shop, but they're so busy the next time they can book me in is the first week of October..STW your my only hope.

Thanks, Mark.

Hope you get your tool..I'm miles away, but if you do get stuck, some threaded bar, big washers and nuts will do it.

Hi kayak,
Thanks for your message, I've got that but there is some movement of my washers on the surface of the BB cups that makes it skew slightly, as the BB is plastic I don't want to damage the bottom bracket or create a dreaded creak when riding...so I have stopped going any further until I get the correct tool / assistance.
