I love it so much. I recently got a marin Eldridge grade from 1993 in pretty crap condition. Bb was so stuck... I cheered in happiness when i heard the tool make a noise in the bb shell but it actually lost all the bb tool teeth😅 i was able to clean and regrease the bb while stil inside the bike. All i changed was the wheelset as the old aluminum nipples kept snapping like potato chips. 110 bcd 34 teeth chainring and tpu inner tubes with 2.2 inch tires. I love riding the thing.

Shock tactics are an option for the bb, best way is to try removing on floor with the wheels in 👍
Yeah retrospective I should have put the wheels back on rather than putting all that force through the seatpost.
