I use the Park pin tool with a hinge, so it's adjustable, and can provide enough torque even for assisting the lockring's tightening, as the cup also rotates into it's very final state of adjustment. This has always seemed to give the most robust adjustment, as opposed to putting all foreward torque on the lockring tool while holding the cup stationary.
does it mean that both cup and lockring have to be adjusted simultaneously—or at least all together by a bit?
thought—just thought—i'd do the cup first and the lockring at last?
got a NOS 7400 cup&cone BB and so excited to put that into my Pinarello.
i do have another BB, splined Chorus—that i have experienced w no trouble by far.
not worried at learning 'new old' technics with proper tools myself,
just worried i am gonna mess up the precious metal chunks with incompetent use of a tool or cheapo tool.
should i just sell DA for another frame and stick with less hassle?
