[CR]RE: BB Fixed Cup Tool

Richard,

What you need is a VELANTO fixed cup tool. This tool was made by Jaime Antonio, one of the members of my local club here in Toronto, and sold mainly to his friends. Jaime saw there was a need for a SOLID, RELIABLE, NON-SLIP, MOVE-A-BATTLESHIP tool that was better than anything currently available, so he had the casting made for the cup holder and just put some washers and a massive nut and bolt on it.

I have taken some digital photos of mine, to view them go to

and look in the Velanto album.

Unfortunately Jaime passed away last October, but if you really want one I can ask his son if there are still some available. I don't know the cost off the top of my head, I've had mine for years and it works better than anything else I have ever used.

Regards,

Ahoy !

Are / were there any tool makers who produce a bottom bracket fixed cup removing tool similar to the Campag design? Campag is probably not affordable so, I am seeking alternative makers. And sources - where to get one. Not ebay. I do not wish to use wrenches. Thanks.
