I've got a 3D+ lockring tool. PM me your address and I'll send it over. Won't be until next week though as I'm off doing the GF Felice Gimondi this weekend. #boastpost
Excellent, thanks for the help both.
a) You are completely correct about the spindle length... silly mistake on my part. Measuring with the preload ring removed gives me a regular length of 110mm.
b) Regarding the spider lockring, I'll try to find one of the normal 3d+ variety and try that. The lock rings seem to be reasonably available from P2M and Velotech, but the only place I can find the tool is on the P2M site for $60!! Does anyone have one that they'd be prepared to lend me (I'm not in London so would need to post it back and forth...).
I really should just give up and buy a Miche Pistard Air, but the sunk cost fallacy has got the better of me.
