I need to replace the BB on my 2005 Trek 1200, with a Bontrager Select crankset.

I have removed the bolts, but am staring at what is left and can't figure out what sort of cranks they are.

Before I start bashing away, can you tell me what I am looking at and tell me how I am supposed to remove them?

ISIS I would guess. Top hat bung in the axle end and a traditional crank puller.

If I deploy the traditional crank puller, there is nothing for it to brace against in order to extract the crank.

Unless I using it incorrectly...

There will be a puck that rests on the BB axle.

Like this, though I don't know for sure if the Octalink one is good for ISIS.

You could try bodging with an appropriate sized coin but can lead to a screwed up "mangled and unremovable coin" situation.

Two 5p's if your puller doesn't have the easily lost top hat thingy, and try to be [i]sympathetic[/i] to avoid the mangling problem said above
