billyboi Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hey if you need to tighten your bottom bracket up ASAP then just get a flat headed screwdriver and use it like a bottom bracket tool put it in and turn it worked for me but it doesn't last very long i used mine for ride an had to re tighten but i done real tight so that should do you until you get your tools but you are best of using the correct tools as other wise you have more chance of breaking something i think you may just need to tighten your bottom bracket and not shot but i may be wrong good luck billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
