Folks,

Here is a picture of the "adjustable" cup of this splined BB. Both sides look the same to me, I presume the fixed cup is reverse threaded since I would think the frame is English threaded. Sometimes the formatting gets messed up on these tinypic links, so please give me a holler if you get som e weird picture that isn't a splined BB.

So what is it that I have, and can I get a tool to remove it?

Thanks in advance, Doug Van Cleve Chandler, AZ
