  • The tried and trusted Shimano one is the best bet, every workshop i've been into has always used them.

  • SHIMANO SHIMANO SHIMANO!

    Buy quality, buy once.

  • ok ok, its just the expense :(

  • i have the pedros trixie, no problems as yet. i had previously tightened using rotafix and hammer and screwdriver, when i got the trixie i used it to try and tighten lockring more and it wouldn't go anymore, so i guess it has tightened enough from skidding.

    edit: the lockring part fits nicely around the cog and the hook is nice and sharp. the 15mm spanner is really useful as well, can fit the tool in a pocket. i was concerned the bottle opener would gouge your hand when applying pressure but it doesn't.

  • +1 to the pedros trixie, I love mine...

    ... but if you don't have a chainwhip or a lockring tool I think you may as well get the shimano.

  • SJS Cycles are selling the 3/32 Shimano tool for 19.99 compared with 29.99 for the 1/8 version.

    Just ordered on. Ta for the recommendations guys.

  • same question just asked, and yes i did UTFS
