Default Special tools for bicycles

I have a growing collection of special tools and the Chinese in particular do NOT stick to the tool standards. This Zitto BB386 x 24 that I have does not have the standard OD for the Park Tool which fits all American BB386 bottom brackets. I did order the BB wrench at the time I ordered the BB but they missed shipping it so I have been waiting for two weeks and likely to be waiting another two weeks. I have all of the parts to put in the and bleed the hydraulic disks so after I have the crown race removed today, I will put everything together and bleed the brakes so that the only thing left to so will be to tighten the BB, insert the crank and fit the chain.

According to Frank buying anything from China is sure danger even though most American companies have their parts made in China. The three top end Trek Frames are one of the exceptions. But Frank is perfectly willing to tell you otherwise.
