Part nos on here:

Youll also need the fitting tool.

The stumpy is simple but I know sram bb30 cranks don't play ball with hope 30mm bottom brackets, I'd have a word with hope as it may be different with fat/boost bb shells.

the mtb industry certainly deserves a kick in the nuts for the dog's breakfast they have served up in terms of BB standards.

If, like me, you are tight and already have a headset press then you might not need the specialist tool. I found the head on a M20 bolt (we have these lying around the workshop) does the same job as the Hope 30mm hex tool.

They don't? I've got a SRAM bb30 chainset running on one in my Turner frame.

Thanks. I have the tool from fitting a Hope BB to another bike.
