Quick PSA: if you come across a website advertising Park Tool products (or other brands) at suspiciously low prices, there is good reason to be suspicious! These sites are a scam, and we work to get them taken down as soon as we are aware of them. You're likely to get a generic knockoff in the *best* case scenario.



Same goes for deeply-discounted tools on sites like AliExpress. It's tempting to believe there's some hidden way to get a sweet deal, but I can assure you, there is no secret factory outlet in China selling the bottom bracket tools we manufacture in St. Paul.



As always, the best places to purchase our products:



1. Through your local bike shop

2. Through a trusted *bike or outdoor gear-specific* online retailer

3. Through parktool.com in the US

Do you have any strong bike opinions? Maybe about things that may or may not matter? Believe it or not, we'd like to hear them! Park Tool is preparing topics for a potential new short-run video series about the meaningless debates that mechanics and riders love to argue about, such as: are there too many bottom bracket standards? Is 1x overrated? Do torque specs matter? What else you got? Sound off in the comments!
