Lockring tool question?

Does anybody know if an older style bottom bracket lockring spanner (c-spanner) will fit a hub lockring ? If so it saves me buying one because i have one at my other house.

Unless anyone wants to sell me one cheap ?

Probably.

I used the pedros fixie tool thing for my BB's, so I guess it would work the otherway round. If you've got one, try it first I guess.

Cheers mate, i thought they looked a little similar - i thought that seeing as the tooth in the slot and pressure from the rest of the tool is the only thing that makes it work, it would fit as long as the tooth did. That means £2 postage rather than buying a new one as i can't find mine and i'm putting a new lockring on a new wheel, so if i borrow one i can't check the tension after riding.

just buy this shimano at a ridiculous price. If you plan to ride fixed for a while you should have a good tool. or get the FGL one.

Got a pedros 'fixie tool' for a bargain price, saw that shimano one but already have a chain whip and hated the idea of buying the same tool twice. I have to say that it fits BB's aswell.

Have a look at the Planet X sale and get one of these :

It really is the best one to have, I remove and replace on average 6 or 7 fixed cogs every couple of days on average and this is the best chain whip and lock ring tool I have ever used.

At nearly £70 it was a rip of but at £ 17 it's a bargain !

I like the double sided Hozan hook spanner. One side fits most track lockrings, and the other is perfect for larger outer diameter lockrings (Phil wood and some others) The hook bit is at a different position/angle on each side so you can get good purchase on any BB or track lockring without mashing up the notch.

C-205 Dual radius.. These guys have them for £21
