So I FINALLY Have a new chainset for the Chi-Done Livestrong machine.

Its SRAM Force with an external English BB

What tools do I need for the BB and for the cranks ? I wanna have a go at this myself

Thanks

Installation of an external BB is pretty easy. BB shells are supposed to be prepared (threads chased and shell faced), but I've never done this (installed Shimano external BBs on 2 bikes which previously had square taper). However, I did cut the paint of the BB shells (

). About 2000km done on one of the bikes now and no problems to date.
