Pity this doesn't come with BB, quite expensive for bit of plastic

- Sven, 3 August, 2021

Used this adapter to upgrade my mtb from a worn-out 8bb51 (44mm) to an mt800 (41mm). Initially I was told that the adapter would be delivered with the mt800, but this was not the case, which was another 5 euro disappointment.... The adapter fits into the BTL-27L spanner after much wriggling. When tightening it, you also have to push the adapter firmly onto the bearing, otherwise the inner teeth will soon be gone. It only just fits. The advantage of the plastic, however, is that (if everything is clean) the bearing is fitted scratch-free. It does what it's supposed to do, but that's all there is to it.

Pros & Cons

Scratch-free installation bottom bracket
Does not go into the key easily
Plastic not very strong
Quite pricey for such a plastic ring

Handy tool but not for frequent use

- Joerik, 4 April, 2021

Bought this tool for mounting a Shimano Ultegra sm-bbr60. The diameter on the standard tool is 44mm and the one on the BBR60 is 41mm. Tool works but after about 5 uses the plastic starts to deform. Handy little tool but not durable.

Pros & Cons

does what it is supposed to do
handy
simple
not durable
plastic
