Hi all
Thanks to the great folks at Hope, it appears that you need another tool (!) for the 30mm BB shell ! I haven’t got one, just finished building my Surly ICT, but can’t tighten the BB !! Anyone local to Leicester got one I can borrow ...please 🙂
Best

I've got one near Stratford :/ bit of a drive! Cheaper to order/get a bike shop to do it I suspect!
Sent you a PM
Not that long a shot, I’ve got one in Anstey.... PM if still needed.
I'm on the south Yorkshire boarder but the wife is heading down towards Leicester tomorrow.
I've two tools so could lend one out.
I actually need one of these which size bb tool do I need please? Wanna get one for the tool box as running 2 now.
It's Hopes own size. You can get the Hope spanner which is cut from a sheet of stainless, or Abbey Tools do a beautiful socket made from aluminium and anodised green.

Hope do an alloy "socket" tool , RRP £20.
Bollocks! They didn't make that when I paid through the nose for the Abbey one.
Bigyan where did you get that, a quick search doesn’t bring much up. So much better than that pressed steel afterthought they called a spanner before.

I just ordered them from Hope, you used to have to phone, but they are on the b2b now.
Anybody with a Hope account can get you one. Activesport are listing them in stock for £17.99 if you want to buy online.
Yes its soo much better than the sheet metal one, dont need to tape the cups to prevent marking and no need to modify the tool if you want to torque to spec.
Thanks bigyan I’ll give activesport a look. Pardon my ignorance but what is b2b as I had also seen it on the hope site and wondered what it was.
@Jordan thanks, I was secretly hoping it was a way of hope doing direct sales.
