Where the heck do you buy your tools if you spend £50 on a hex wrench?
Have you tried to replace bearings on ultra-torque? Puller and setter required. Power Torque garbage..same kind of stuff but slightly different requiring more tools. Can't even be bothered to work out what is required for over-torque...since I dismissed new Campagnolo cranksets when they came out with yet another convoluted system. FWIW I actually really like UT but now the BB standards are screwed, I guess its applications are more limited.
Shimano, Rotor et al, have this sorted, a couple of bolts and a hex is all that is required. Replace the cups when the bearings are shot, easy-peasy..and cheap(ish)
back on topic..from the limited feedback this change sounds like taking something that worked and breaking it. I hope not another lemon..
Did any of the pro-tour teams beta- test it?
