SUPER B TB-98150 Bottom Bracket Tapping & Facing Toolset (BSA)
Achieve the pinnacle of frame preparation and bicycle assembly with the SUPER B TB-98150 Bottom Bracket Tapping and Facing Tool. This professional-grade workshop instrument is the definitive solution for ensuring perfect bottom bracket installation, eliminating persistent creaks, and maximizing the lifespan of critical drivetrain components. Designed for discerning mechanics and workshops that demand absolute precision, the TB-98150 transforms a standard frame into a perfectly machined foundation for any high-performance build.
Unlock Peak Performance Through Precision Machining
The primary benefit of the SUPER B TB-98150 lies in its dual-function capability. The tapping function allows you to chase and clean existing bottom bracket threads that may be filled with paint or debris from the manufacturing process, or to expertly cut fresh, clean threads in a new frame. This ensures smooth, effortless installation of your bottom bracket cups, preventing cross-threading and damage.
Simultaneously, the facing function is critical for performance. It machines the outer faces of the bottom bracket shell to be perfectly parallel to each other and square to the threads. This precise alignment is essential for modern external cup bottom brackets, as it prevents uneven loading on the bearings. By creating a perfect interface, you eliminate a primary cause of premature bearing wear and the frustrating, hard-to-diagnose creaks that plague many bicycles. A properly faced and tapped bottom bracket shell guarantees a silent, efficient, and durable drivetrain foundation.
Engineered for Professional Workshop Use
This comprehensive 13-piece modular set is built to handle the rigorous demands of a busy workshop. The long, ergonomic handles provide exceptional leverage and control, allowing for a steady, confident cutting action with minimal effort. The spring-loaded tapping guides ensure that the tool remains perfectly centered and aligned with the bottom bracket shell, preventing misalignment and guaranteeing a concentric cut every time. Whether you are building a custom bike from scratch, restoring a classic frame, or offering premium maintenance services, the TB-98150 elevates the quality of your work to a professional standard that clients can feel on every pedal stroke. The entire set is housed in a heavy-duty, custom-molded case, ensuring your investment is protected, organized, and ready for the next job.
