Cheap Hub Lock Ring Tool - Where From?

I'm looking for a lockring spanner or 'c' spanner as I believe they are otherwise known.

I believe the Park PSA-3 pin spanner is also made for this but I'm having trouble locating one.

I don't really wanna pay £15 for a spanner if I can help it. Any ideas?

i got a cheao one from charlie the bikemonger on ebay for about £5 not great, a but fiddly but its cheap and works!

get the dura-ace one with chain-whip ~£25 from chain reaction. money worth spending, sorry to say!!

Either buy a good one or use a hammer and screwdriver.

(I am a man of hammer usage by the way.

??? If you mean I use things in an unconvetional manor than yes if you mean I do things in a sub standard manor I say no.

DA tool £20 @ Hubjub

i bought a the new shimano job today for 25 from holloway cycles. pretty snazzy.

it's nice to have the right tools.

Hmm..ain't paying 25 notes for a bloody lockring spanner that will get used once in a blue moon!

Looks like I'll have to stick with the aforementioned hammer and screwdriver approach, I'm so cheap eh!!

I'm sure the Park jobby is reasonable priced but google doesn't throw up anyone stocking it mail order apart from the U.S. unless anyone knows different.

it's lockring spanner AND a chain whip don't you know. bargain.

anyway, you sir can do whatever you like.

@Superprecise - If only I hadn't just shelled out for a chain whip it would indeed be a steal :( Life's a bitch sometimes!

hammer and flat head screwdriver as theBrick says works fine (unless you're totally incompetent and beat the crap out of your frame). i've done it loads like that.

You can use the right tools or you can use a hammer. Which you choose is up to you and your bank account.

I tightened my Phil Wood lockring MC Hammer style but it refuses to loosen using the same.

DA tool, best there is.

hmm not quite, 31... get the hozan one from hubjub, i've seen more than 2 dura ace ones break already.

edmundane hmm not quite, 31... get the hozan one from hubjub, i've seen more than 2 dura ace ones break already.

the chain sometimes break, but that is replacable.

oops, scrap just realised someone on here(nimh*COUGH*bus) broke the chain on mine.....hasn't minniemouse got a stronger lookin' shimano one??
