Monday grump: I need ANOTHER BB tool??
Putting my Bianchi together I ordered a Praxis M30 bottom bracket [stupidly] assuming the BB tool I had for my Wheels MFG 30mm BB would be the same.
Wrong. Looks like I add another bottom bracket socket to the drawer full of them. Grumble over.

In fairness to Praxis, while they use a unique tool and BB standard, they've used the same unique tool and bb standard for more than a decade now.

But you have to really, really want to use their cranks if you have a ITA BB.

I just bought the praxis BB because it was inexpensive compared to wheels for a 30mm unit.
Amazon Prime really does make it too easy to spend money and have things the next day though...

1) If you're not willing to pay $$ for yet another proprietary tool, then you're just not worthy of the component.
2) Amazon Prime is the vaccine that fixes everything. (not a member)

I was pretty unhappy when I found out Shimano had a new bb size. I find it strange they change things that have been working for decades for no apparent reason. But the industry as a whole had just given up on standards.

I have about 10 different Shimano BB tools - from the old square taper stuff, to octalink and for the different outboard cup design BB.

Amazon Prime is also the illness that requires the vaccine....but I am not complaining.

Of course then I have to go through the shelves and drawers and piles in my workshop to find said thing.

I was pissed at Shimano until I found their $5 insert that works with the old tool. I don’t mind spending $5.
