Driving back from the ride near Boulder, I stopped at Wheat Ridge Cyclery to pick up my Triple Bypass information packet. No longer sweaty, but ragged, I made my way past neophytes refreshed by their decision to buy a new bike to the counter and got my packet. On the way out I wondered if I could get the right tool to pull my cranks and have a look at the bottom bracket myself. My bike has a Shimano Ocatlink bottom bracket.
I wandered over to the service counter and waited for the guy in front of me to finish. When it was my turn I asked about tools to pull cranks. With a few questions and a visit to my bike, the tech realized I needed a large crank puller, not a small one. The hole in the octalink is larger and the small crank puller pushes against air. He even pulled a bottom bracket (BB) and gave me a better idea how they are used.
