Looking for advice, don't know if there is already a thread, apologise if there is.

I need a tool to remove the lockring effectively from my profile hub and put the sprocket on.

i have been told the dura ace ones are the best because the others break. please enlighten me and let me know where i can get one or of equivalent strength that does not break the bank too bad.

Thanks

Don't get the condor tools. They are not long enough to get sufficient leverage, and my chainwhip tool ended up bending sideways.

Lesson learnt - don't buy cheap tools.

I got the Shimano one from Pro Bike Kit when it was £22 odd. Now it's £33 or so. Hehe...

For the dura-ace tool (have one myself, can recommend it) search for TL-SR22.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
