Is there a need for this BB tool?

BB cups that have small 5/8" flats on the side surfaces can be almost impossible to remove, especially the ones on English 3 speeds.

Is there a need for a specific tool for removing them?

I have a prototype tool that will remove a 3 speed's fixed cup, no matter how tight it is. Even those the discontinued Kingsbridge tool or an oversize bolt (ala Sheldon Brown) won't remove. It's also useful for the adjustable cup.

If I can determine there is enough interest, I'll get a batch made.

If you are interested, drop me an email at mark@bikesmithdesign.com

I'm not asking for a commitment or anything, just trying to gauge interest.

Thank You
