This has come up twice recently (both times with Santa Cruz bikes with 150mm rear axles). With a 128mm spindle, which is recommended for the larger rear axle, this will not accommodate normal tools. A customer told me his old Raceface ISIS tool would not work with his BB, and I tried I think a Shimano tool with a Truvativ Gigapipe DH (with the notches on the outer ring).

Has anyone seen this? Which tool did you use?

I got this one. It is hollow so it will slip over any spindle.

I have used the new race face tool.

Park makes a BB tool for the Shimano BB's it used to have a lip inside it that made it not work on FSA or Raceface BB's the one we have at the Shop i grinded the inside down with a Dremel tool and it worked sweet, then Park re made them and they dont have that lip anymore as well.

Thanks for the advice. I like the Lifu except for that it is a Taiwanese POS. I could also grind down an existing tool, a good idea.
