The BBT-18 is a heavy duty, investment cast tool for installing and removing the following eight-notch bottom bracket cups:
- Shimano Octalink- right cup with external notches
- ISIS Drive
Note: The BBT-18 is an updated version of the current BBT-8. The outside diameter of the tool has been changed so it provides a universal fit on all Shimano and ISIS Drive eight-notch cups.+
The BBT-18 has 8 notches with an outside diameter of nominally 43.4mm. The inside-to-inside width is approximately 38mm. Each notch is approximately 3.9mm wide. The hole in the center of the casting is 22.5mm, and will not fit over the 30mm spindles.
