BB tool adapter?

[ishaw]

I have a number of BB tools for most of the standards, square taper, isis, HT, ht2, 30mm etc but have recently found the ht2 road bbs are now smaller and don't fit any of my tools.

Is there an adapter that will make any of my existing tools work or do I need yet another tool?

Yes, Shimano make plastic adapters that fit a standard HT2 tool. Just be aware that there's 2 different sizes, the Dura-Ace BB is smaller again than the Ultegra one. They did come with the BBs when they first arrived but that soon died off.

I’d also add that the plastic adapters aren’t great. You can get a proper tool for £10 from ice tools which far better

Thanks, I've got a couple of new ultegra ones, maybe there's an adapter lurking, if not I may just buy the proper tool.
