[Closed] Niner (Air9c) BB tool

Hello,

I have a Niner Air 9 Carbon and I need to take out the standard GXP BB adapter cup things to install an eccentric BB. Now, the tool is the best part of £90 - which is a bit steep for a once only job. Does anybody have one I could borrow for a few days? I would happily cover postage each way and attach a few beer tokens for your help?

Many thanks, Jon

Ps. Not sure if I should have posted this in the bike forum or the wanted forum so mods please move it if needed.

Jon, can you just not tap out the adaptors with a socket set extension bar? Take out the BB & go through the hole of one adaptor up against the back of the inside of the other & carefully tap.
I'm guessing its similar to tapping out headset cups?

I've bought a used frame & have the cups to install shortly - I was just going to use a home made headset press - large threaded bar, nuts & wood blocks - would you think it would work?
