Park Tool RT-1: The Professional Standard for Headset & Bottom Bracket Cup Removal
Take the guesswork and frustration out of bicycle frame maintenance with the Park Tool RT-1 Headset and Bottom Bracket Cup Remover. Designed for both professional workshops and dedicated home mechanics, this essential bearing tool provides a safe, efficient, and precise method for removing press-fit cups without damaging your valuable frame or components. It represents the pinnacle of reliability in bicycle maintenance, turning a potentially difficult task into a straightforward procedure.
The RT-1 Headset and Bottom Bracket Cup Remover makes headset and bottom bracket cup removal easy. The tool is pulled through the frame until the flared ends snap in behind the cup. A blow on the tool head removes the cup. This simple yet highly effective mechanism ensures that force is applied evenly and directly to the back of the cup, preventing the slips, scratches, and frame ovalization that can occur when using improper tools or makeshift methods. Protect your investment and ensure a clean, professional-grade removal every time.
Unmatched Versatility and Durability
What sets the RT-1 apart is its exceptional versatility. This single tool is engineered to handle a wide array of standards, making it a cost-effective and space-saving addition to any toolkit. It is perfectly suited for common headset sizes, but its utility extends to the most current bottom bracket systems. If you´re servicing a modern mountain bike or road bike, the RT-1 is the correct tool for removing non-threaded SRAM® DUB® bottom brackets and various other PressFit 30 (PF30) systems. This broad compatibility ensures you have the right tool for today’s bikes and those to come.
Built to withstand the rigors of daily shop use, the RT-1 is constructed for a lifetime of service. The robust, heat-treated alloy steel construction guarantees strength and resilience, while the premium nickel finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability. When you invest in the RT-1, you are investing in Park Tool´s legacy of quality and a tool that will not bend, break, or fail when you need it most.
