Having recently changed from Truvativ bottom brackets to a raceface one I've found that my current crank puller has too thin a spindle on it. Does anybody know where I can find a raceface crank puller, or what they are called?

Ignore reality, there's nothing you can do about it.
Had a bit of a revelation. one 5p coin on its own is the right diameter but not strong enough and therefore bends under the force and becomes lodged inside the bb axle. but three or four sellotaped together are strong enough. cost me 50p in total to get my bb out, daylight robbery! cheers everyone.

well youd have payed more in a shop those cranks must have been on pretty tight for you to bend a 5p peice we use them al the time when we lose the end of out crank puller
nah, i've tried a 5p in the past and each time its bent. I have a proper tool now, but in the past I resorted to a bolt who's head was just the right size to fit inside the crank and just overlap the bb spindle.
or go down to your lbs and buy atop hat spacer made buy shimano that will fit in the isis/octolink hole in the bb enabling you to use you square taper crank puller they cost
