The 1671.2\/4 is made from Unior's premium flex plus carbon steel because the 8-notch BB interface lives mostly on bikes that are decades old by now; the splines on the cup are often already marginal, and a tool that's softer than the cup adds wear instead of releasing the BB cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePro tip from our mechanics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cartridge BB that has been seized in place for two decades won't yield to force alone.

The 8-notch pattern has eight wide, widely spaced teeth; the 20-tooth pattern is finer, with twenty narrow splines.
