WTB: 18mm Cone Spanner

Fking Singleator requires an 18mm cone spanner to tighten the spring. sigh
Would be nice if this was on the packet or the shopguy mentioned it so I could've bought one.
So, does anyone have an 18mm cone spanner I can borrow? I'll probably buy one - how often does the tension need adjusting? Every time you move the tensioner? What a pain!

no

I wonder if all this shit can be claimed as 'travel' expenses? :)

more like fire hazard

Oh.. that's getting reported.. don't you worry. Cnuts..

dont need the spanner just take the chain off tighten at a more upward/downward angle depending on how your using the singulator then put the chain back on.

Yeah but then there's no spring tension. It'd work but I'd need to check it to make sure it didn't loosen off (bye bye 'manual' tension) and it'd wear out quicker as there'd it'd have to be tight and stay clamped tight.
Plus, it was in the instructions.. and I love following them to the letter :)

I see now.. they require 18mm so you buy their tool..

(n.b. this isn't true, but i like that they have an 18mm bottle opener! :))

just go to LBS, but probably got one at home, have a few!

this is karma.

Karma for what? Oh.. for being me.. you're probably right.
Next time I see Karma I'm gonna break his arms.. feckin' trouble maker.

well my bodge worked on the courier bike 2001-2004 (when it got knicked) you dont need that much tension really otherwise it gets noisy

Cheers, I got the spanner today anyway. I'm drinking instant coffee this week so I'm in front money-wise anyway ;)
I just wanted to do it properly so I didn't have to walk back to the shop to buy another £30 tensioner! :)
