Replacing bottom bracket bearings and -cups is easy, when you have the right tools.

Fix It Sticks Replaceable Tire Levers
The Fix it Sticks Replaceable Edition will be reviewed in this article, just as the Tire Levers that were released by Brian Davis and his team around December 2016. The tire levers are specifically designed for Fix it Sticks Replaceable Edition and can be placed on the end of Fix it Sticks instead of a 1/4″ bit.
I will compare the replaceables with the Fix It Sticks T-Way wrench and the Fix It Sticks Tire Levers with my Tacx Mini Tyre levers T4885.
PB Swiss BikeTool and 470 Adapter
The PB Swiss BikeTool is a clever designed multi-tool for on the go, and I will compare it with my Lezyne V10 multi tool. The PB Swiss Tools 470.M Adapter is part of this 1/4″ bit based BikeTool. The adapter is 1/4″ bit holder that can be used in combination with a 5 mm. hex/allen key.
Furthermore I will share my thoughts on why every home mechanic should have the PB 470.M Adapter and a set of PB Swiss Tools allen keys.

Tacx Mini Tyre Levers T4885
The Tacx Mini Tyre levers T4885 have an innovative- and lightweight design making it the perfect on-the-road tyre levers that I put in my Scicon Elan 210 Carbonium saddle bag. The Pedros Tire Levers are the preferred tire levers for your garage.
