Wanted Hope/Royce/Tune Bottom Bracket Tool

[jimbomilleruk]

Hi,
Just bought one of the old style Hope bottom brackets with 6 pin holes in the cups and need a tool to install it. Believe the Royce & Tune tools will also fit so would appreciate it if anyone has any one of these that they no longer need.
Thanks,
Jim

Royce sell them new.

Rampage was talking about doing another batch too?

Is this what you are looking for in the roadie section..?

I’d seen the for sale ad and asked if they still had it but was posted a long time ago and they’ve not been active for a few years. Also know that Royce still sell the tools but looks like they’re not made from stainless any more, I’m sure they used to be when I looked a few years ago.

The Royce tool has shorter pins too, fine though if you hold it in while using it.

The suggestion above regards Rampage is a good bet.

Sorry I’d missed that, I’ll message him to see if he’ll be making another batch… thanks!

I’ve ended up with 3 tools, one of Rampage’s from a few years ago, and 2 Royce ones which came with bbs I bought.

I’ll sell one of the Royce ones for £15 posted.
