I just bought an 03 dura ace triple crankset from a friend.
I'm shopping for a BB for it now.
I've had the "needle bearing" 03 double dura ace BB in the past and did not like it as I found it
hard to keep in adjustment and greased up, so I converted to the cartridge style ultegra double.
My question:
From the pics I have seen on the shimano site and mail order, the DA triple BB looks like it is a
cartridge type and not the fiddly needlebearing. Can someone confirm that if I get the DA triple
BBthat its still uses the ultegra type design that is more "fit-and-forget"
Also, can I use my standard shimano cartridge bb tool (fits ultegra, xt...) or do I need to buy a
special one for the DA triple...
cheers
