dicki does anyone have a shimano hollow tech crank removing device ? they have nothing in the middle for the regular crank removers to get a hold of / push on ?
anyone ?

I used the normal crank remover you mention with 3 random washers between it and the cranks. It will bend the washers but gets the cranks off beautifully.
Good for a quick fix.

two five pence peaces may do the job.

Ooh. get you and your rich method :]

Just my way of smashing the state;) Or if you don't have the washers the correct size clearly but I like to think about squishing the head of state.

I'm almost tempted to refit those cranks and BB, just so I can have a go at removing them with 5 penny pieces.

I couldn't resist. Tool make me very happy
Didn't Rage split up in 1999 or 2000ish? Shit it must have been an age since I saw them.

They were really good at Brixton this year, too.
Maynard has stiil got it, even though he is about 45 :)

Shit - Emilie, I forgot to grab that lever from you before Xmas, sorry, I'll give you a buzz.

tool - are they the band who chose not to write songs, preferring instead to write 63 minute dirge prog epics with stupid names?

i just got one of them thar Hazar lockring tools, woohoo.

can't get the frickin' cog off though... i was trying to bodge with 3/32 chainring, tried stamping on pedals. nothing. oh well, it stays, i got double fixed hub so whacked a 17t on the other side.

30(something)mm x 15mm Park Tool spanner for my wobbly headset and pedals/nuts

Before i go out and and spend money on one...does any one have (must be my favorite tool name) a nut setter to install (probs my favorite named bike part) a star fangled nut? !

just use a long socket bit and tap it in with a hammer to the required depth

CHUG_IT just use a long socket bit and tap it in with a hammer to the required depth

Nice one this was the answer i was looking for!

This may be a stupid question but had all my bit taken of my bike on the weekend and have been replacing with new parts. I noticed my origional nut was sitting flush on the top of the steerer tubeand was damaged was damaged and i managed to get it out.Having a feel around with my finger in the tube it seems that it was origionally about located around 15mm down....would that sound about right?

Cheers

yeah mate it needs to be recessed by roughly 13mm.

Lidl on Acre Lane (Brixton) has a whole heap of tools in stock next week - from thursday (and no, before you ask, I don't work on the counter). Obv, not going to be the best quality but they are cheap... screwdrivers, socket sets, allen key sets, pliers and the bike mechanic's friend - massive hammers etc.

cheers peeps will try the 5 pence piece method otherwise anyone with one going to polo tomorrow ?

Can anyone sort me out with campy BB tools? N10 or central

Anyone close by got a BB tool to tighten one of these babies up?

I'm central :)

(london that is)

I think I may do - we were installing one yesterday at lunchtime. I'm in Farringdon, but I'm not in tomorrow.

We're putting together a work bike out of all our spare parts, we can use it to pop down to the shops or meetings without worrying about it getting nicked. That's why we have a lot of tools lying around at the moment.

Cool, i really need to do it tonight as i'll naff the bearings if not! I'll holler you if no-one comes up with one :)

Ta!

i have a lot of the tools already mentioned but also a Maillard pattern freewheel removal tool that I've yet to christen.

Thanks all, think i've got it sussed but cheers for the offers!!!! :-)
