What bottom bracket tool to use on an Edco Comp?
I will be tightening, maybe replacing the Edco comp bottom bracket on my road bike. Anyone know what tool will work? I only see Shimano or Campy compatible stuff. Not sure if edco went with one of these guy's standards.

Funny you should ask, I just happen to have an Edco Competition bottom bracket sitting in my parts box.
It uses the same tools as the old style cup-and-cone bottom brackets. You need a pin spanner and a lock-ring tool. Mine has lockrings on both cups so you can adjust the chainline. Therefore, there is no "fixed cup" and you don't need a fixed-cup wrench. You install both sides with the pin-spanner and lock them in place with a lock ring tool.

Sweet. I was wondering why it looked a little diffrent from any other bottom brackets I've seen.
