SUPER B TB-98150 Professional Bottom Bracket Tapping & Facing Tool

Achieve workshop-level precision and eliminate frustrating bottom bracket issues with the SUPER B TB-98150 Bottom Bracket Cutting Tool. This professional-grade tapping and facing set is the definitive solution for ensuring a perfect interface between your frame´s bottom bracket shell and your bottom bracket cups. Designed for mechanics who demand accuracy, this tool addresses the common problems of poor factory frame finishing, paint overspray, and thread damage, which can lead to creaking, premature bearing wear, and difficult installation.

By investing in proper frame preparation, you guarantee smoother performance and a longer lifespan for your components. The facing function of the TB-98150 mills the outer faces of the bottom bracket shell, making them perfectly parallel and flat. This critical step ensures that external bearing cups sit flush against the frame, providing optimal alignment for the crank spindle, reducing friction, and silencing annoying creaks. The tapping function allows you to chase existing threads to clean them of paint and debris or to re-tap and restore threads that have been lightly damaged, ensuring your bottom bracket cups thread in smoothly and securely.

Key Benefits:

* Eliminate Creaks and Noise: By creating perfectly parallel and flat surfaces, this tool ensures optimal bearing alignment, the leading solution for resolving persistent bottom bracket creaking.
* Enhance Performance & Bearing Life: Proper alignment reduces unnecessary stress and friction on bearings, leading to a smoother-feeling drivetrain and significantly extending the life of your bottom bracket.
* Flawless Installation: Effortlessly clean and restore threads for a smooth, secure, and hassle-free installation of any compatible bottom bracket, saving time and preventing cross-threading.
* Professional Frame Preparation: An essential tool for preparing new frames before a build or for restoring vintage frames, ensuring a professional foundation for high-performance components.
