Product Information

Full details

The PARK TOOL BBT-22 is a shop-quality tool designed for cyclists and mechanics who need to install and remove Shimano and ISIS Drive splined 20-tooth bottom bracket cups. Its primary benefit is ensuring maximum engagement and secure handling of bottom bracket cups due to its flat tooth profile, made from durable investment-cast steel. A key consideration is its specific compatibility with 20-tooth splined cups, meaning it is not a universal solution for all bottom bracket types.

FAQs

What types of bottom brackets is the BBT-22 compatible with?

The BBT-22 is designed for Shimano and ISIS Drive splined 20-tooth bottom bracket cups. It is not compatible with press-fit bottom brackets or other bottom bracket standards.

Can I use the BBT-22 with any bottom bracket brand?

It is primarily designed for Shimano and ISIS Drive systems, but it will work with other brands that use the same 20-tooth splined cup interface, such as Truvativ, Race Face, and FSA.

What tools can I use with the BBT-22?

You can use a 3/8-inch drive torque wrench, a 3/8-inch ratchet driver, a 32mm wrench, the Park FRW-1 Freewheel Remover Wrench, or a 1-inch wrench.

How do I clean and maintain the BBT-22?

Clean the tool with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use and store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Inspect the teeth periodically for wear.

Is the BBT-22 suitable for home mechanics or only professional shops?

The BBT-22 is considered shop-quality, meaning it is durable and precise enough for professional use, but it is also excellent for home mechanics who perform their own bike maintenance.

Will this tool work on my modern DUB or BSA threaded bottom bracket?

No, the BBT-22 is specifically for older Shimano and ISIS Drive splined 20-tooth bottom bracket cups. Modern standards like SRAM DUB or standard BSA threaded external bearings require different tools.

Troubleshooting

Tool slips on bottom bracket cup.

Ensure you are using the correct tool for a 20-tooth splined Shimano or ISIS Drive bottom bracket. Verify that the tool's teeth are fully engaged with the cup's splines and that the cup itself is not damaged or excessively worn. Use a 3/8" drive ratchet or torque wrench for consistent pressure.

Tool doesn't fit onto the bottom bracket cup.

Confirm that the bottom bracket is indeed a 20-tooth splined Shimano or ISIS Drive type. This tool is not compatible with press-fit, Campagnolo, or other bottom bracket standards. Check for any debris or damage on the bottom bracket splines or the tool's teeth.

Difficulty applying sufficient torque.

Ensure you are using an appropriate driving tool, such as a 3/8" drive ratchet or torque wrench, which provides good leverage. Make sure the tool is fully seated on the bottom bracket cup to maximize grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable investment-cast steel construction ensures longevity.
  • Flat tooth profile maximizes grip on bottom bracket splines.
  • Multiple drive options offer user flexibility.
  • Compatible with a wide range of Shimano and ISIS Drive systems.
  • Clears oversized spindles for easier use.

Cons

  • Only compatible with 20-tooth splined bottom brackets.
  • May require additional tools (e.g., torque wrench) for proper installation.
  • Not suitable for press-fit or other non-splined bottom bracket types.
  • Basic black finish, without additional aesthetic features.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The BBT-22 requires no assembly. It is a standalone tool designed to interface directly with compatible bottom bracket cups.

Compatibility: This tool is specifically designed for bottom bracket cups with 20 splines and a splined interface, primarily found in Shimano and ISIS Drive systems. It is not compatible with:

  • Press-fit bottom brackets (e.g., BB30, PF30, BB86, BB92)
  • Bottom brackets with different spline counts or designs
  • External bearing bottom brackets that do not use a splined cup interface

Care: To maintain the BBT-22's performance and longevity:

  1. Clean the tool after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove grease and debris.
  2. Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent rust or corrosion, especially given its steel construction.
  3. Avoid using excessive force or improper leverage, which could damage the tool or the bottom bracket.
  4. Periodically inspect the teeth for wear or damage. If significant wear is observed, replacement is recommended.
