• Cheers dude, got one arriving in the post today now- didn't see this and couldn't wait.

  • Soz. Missed this. Email history says 110mm. Let me have a rummage this weekend to see if I can find it. Yours for a forum donation if I do. Harrass me by PM if I go quiet. Bit mental for me at the moment.

  • No worries - will do. Thanks very muchly.

  • Does anybody have a crown race remover I can borrow in London today? Just need it over night.

  • I've had mixed success with the dedicated tool I bought, you can borrow it but I think its a bit shit. What sort of fork are you removing it from?

    Recently I've thought this a better method (steel forks, steel steerer mind, I've never had to do it with a carbon / alu fork)

    and a hammer to knock it out. Much less likely to damage the paint or crown of the fork

  • I've done it before with a hammer and screwdriver but this is full carbon steerer and crown, I won't be going near it with a hammer

  • Pin Punch > screwdriver but yeh I wouldn't dare either on full carbsy.

    Sounds like you need the real deal

  • If the race is flush with the crown, the tool might struggle to get started.

    Tap a razor/Stanley blade in and work it around: should give the tool enough of a grip to get going.

  • Its got a gap, I tried with a kitchen knife but snapped the knife. Plus I still need the tool.

  • I usually close wise enough that crown would hit/sit corners horizontally and with mullet hammer tap steerer few times.. Crown races just pops out without any trouble and forks/CRs are not damaged.

  • Does anyone have a bearing press tool for bb30/pf30 etc?

    Located in Croydon.

    Edit: sorted

  • Anyone in NW London that can lend me a Shimano cassette lock ring tool and chain whip this weekend?

  • Anyone around E5 with a proper set of cable cutters. Gonna recables my road bike and need some cutters.
    Cheers

  • Does anyone have a Rotor spider lockring tool in London?

  • does anyone in North London have a headset press I could borrow this evening?

  • Does anyone near SE1 have a 24mm socket and wrench that I could borrow (ideally tonight) - made the classic error of getting halfway through a fork service and realising I don't have all the tools I need. Doh.
    Also, some circlip pliers would be a bonus.

  • does anyone have a headset press I could borrow for an evening in North London?

  • I have one but Bethnal Green if you need and not too far to pick up. Heavy AF just FYI.

  • I've got one in NW3 - gospel oak

  • that'd be great, I'll PM you

  • I also have one in Stoke Newington N16 9BP.

    Also a crown race remove and a crown race tool to fit them.

    And grease.

    And Champagne I will try to sell you

  • Does anyone have a cordless drill - maybe 18v - that they would like to sell/get rid of/trade ?

  • Anybody not too far from walthamstow happen to have a pressure washer they wouldn't mind lending for a few days?

  • Anyone in brixton/south have a bb remover for MICHE 1.37 x 24 BSC BB that i could borrow tonight? LBS said i need to book in 3 days in advance and i really just want it out now so i can get a stuck seatpost out!
