  1. What is the extra metal thing that comes with FSA BBs for?

    I'm stumped.

    It plugs into the end of the spindle so you can use a standard crankarm
    remover when you want to remove your crankarms. Without it, the pointy
    end of the crankarm remover has nothing to push against.

    I see!

    Thanks,

  4. Put that in the end of the BB and use a normal crank puller..

    NC,
    In concurrence with other posters, the literature supplied with your
    bb should've said the same thing.

    Thanks Robin - Hopefully they don't let you interact with the customers at
    Lickton's. You have a way of making a guy feel like $0.01.

    I've been there. He's definitely a spiny old codger. Good bike gear at
    good prices though.

    I don't know, I met two guys when I was there. There was a tall bald
    guy about 60 who was the spiny old codger I was referencing, then there
    was a shorter somewhat younger guy with more hair who was definitely
    more a people person. The old guy warmed up considerably after I bought
    $300 worth of various bike gear. I've used your mail order service a
    few times and it was exceptionally good.

    Nah, I think they were verbally flipping you off.

    No, not at all. I don't mind cantankerous people. It shows they have
    some character. Sometimes people who are superficially nice are in fact
    the most self-centered people of all.
