Whilst trying to replace the old cup and cone BB with a cartridge on my other half's hybrid, I've been faced with a fixed cup that is seized quite badly. Normally I've been able to get away with using a large adjustable spanner for these things, but I can't get a good enough grip, so considered buying a proper closed cup spanner (even though I won't need it after replacing with a cartridge unit). Anyway, the fixed cup has a size of 34.8mm on it. Surely these are normally 36mm, and that's what all the spanners are. Has anyone come across a 34.8mm BB fixed cup before, and where can I get a spanner to get it off? Or - am I being particularly dozy and have missed something silly?
