I did search, but...
It seems Miche aren't the only manufacturer that make their lockrings from soft cheese... Finally getting the polo bike sorted so go to take the lockring off (in the correct direction, clockwise, before anyone gets smart) and my Shimano tool takes the notch with it... I spin it 'round and try again, being much more careful this time and skraaaang! Same thing happens... There are three notches on this lockring, I don't need to tell you what happened to the third one...
Anyway, there is now no way of taking this stupid fucking lockring off with the Shimano tool... What's my next move? Mole grips?
Stupid, fucking polo bike... And Jebus, Marathon Pluses are tough to get on... I've now lost all the feeling in my hands... ;o
