Park BTS-1 Bottom Bracket Taps and Facer:
  • A professional quality tool that is easy to use and will last a lifetime.
  • Cleans and cuts bottom bracket threads in steel, aluminum or titanium frames.
  • A facing cutter is included. Use it to clean and prepare the edges of your bottom bracket shell. Those edges must be at a right angle to your bottom bracket spindle and perfectly parallel to each other.
  • The Park BTS-1 comes with two British (1.37 inches x 24 threads per inch) or larger diameter Italian taps (36 mm x 24 threads per inch).
  • Taps may be purchased separately. Park taps and the facing cutter may be resharpened by a professional tool cutting service.
  • Good cutting oil is essential when using any cutting tool. Use it liberally for maximum tool life and ease of use.
  • British or often called English, taps have a different right and left tap. Italian threading is the same for both the right and left taps. Two cutting taps are required for British or Italian threaded bottom brackets.
  • The right and left handles slide into each other so the taps are always perfectly positioned in reference to each other.
  • To use the facing cutter you leave the taps in the frame. Then you slide the cutter onto the right, male, handle. Slide the handle into your frame using the taps as a pilot and simply turn the handle while pressing the cutter towards your frame.
  • The BTS-1 facing cutter is designed for cleaning and light duty facing. For heavy duty facing use the Park BFS-1 Bottom Bracket Facing set.

Branford Bike Online Catalog - Archival Edition
brought to you by the former owner of Branford Bike, Tim Brockett via his personal web site, TimsLife.Com
This is an archival edition of the Branford Bike web site from February 2006. Complete with product photos, prices, how to articles and technical specifications it is a treasure trove of accurate, detailed and historical information.

In July of 2006 Branford Bike was incinerated by a huge forest fire. No one was hurt but the inventory and buildings were completely destroyed. I witnessed the fire and stayed until the trees were burning in my driveway. At that point I hiked from Branford Bike, through the smoke and embers, down the mountain to my Jeep 3 miles away. I took photos and wrote about the harrowing experience so everyone could see what I saw. My insurance was generous and I later rebuilt my home and started another business selling books. Read the story here.

Branford Bike was a huge part of my life for over 30 years; June 1976 to July 2006. I enjoyed those years tremendously and Branford Bike was often a labor of love. I hope you enjoy browsing through the archival catalog. If your visit brings back pleasant memories please share them with me via e-mail at timbrockett@gmail.com .

If you find any printed Branford Bike catalogs, advertisments or flyers please scan them as a PDF and email. Or you may mail them via US Post to Tim Brockett, PO Box 1711, Emigrant, MT 59027. Eventually I will post them in a Memorabilia catalog section.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes,
Tim Brockett
