Mavic BB tool wanted

In article said:

Anybody know where I can get hold of the tool for tightening the adjustable rings on an old mavic
bottom bracket? I want the one that engages 4 notches at a time, made by Mavic. - I'm trying to
remove an old one and put on a new one, its a bit tight and the normal adjustable ring tools with
just one hook don't really cut it.

Sorry I don't know where to find that tool - I suggest you find a shop with the VAR lockring pliers.
You can apply a lot more force with than with the typical hook tool. Most shops I have worked at
owned a pair.

You tried the new Park Dura Ace lockring tool? If the gaps in the Mavic bb are the same as my D/A,
it should work great.

You may want to try to find a shop, or friend, that has the campy lockring tool. It is a nicer tool
that engages multiple notches at once so there is less chance of slipping and it spreads the load
over more notches.

If you want a nice tool that's easy to use get a Var #16 instead
