Pipe needed for leverage on lock ring wrench

I've seen longer.

I've got bigger.

Oh and Iain if you still need a lever when I get back from dressing up like a cunt and looking down on people (playing golf) I've got a 5 foot steel bar that should do the job.

I only say "should do the job" as I've only used it once before, to tighten a lockring. Totally threaded the hub while barely applying pressure in the process. A bit too much levarage for tightening but should be just the trick for loosening.

Hey guys,

Im looking for a piece of pipe that can fit over my lock ring wrench as i need some leverage (and also to prevent skinning my knuckles on the spokes).

Anyone have anything near E2 that is suitable?

Thanks for the help

I wear gloves in this situation. was surprised it worked...

and anyway CB, you been slacking off the gym or something?

I'll give you a length!*

*deleted if anyone has used this gag already..

I'll try gloves as well...

I love this forum:-) most of people I know and love drawn to my thread! Love it!

Let's see how my day goes today.

Put lockring spanner on. Get it in place and under lots of tension.
Hit it very hard with a spanner.

Either the thing will come off or you have to buy a new wrench.

Hit it hard with a spanner ! Hit it hard with a spanner ... who did your bike maintainence training Bodgit and Bodgit cowboy bike repairs of holloway road, you definately didn't get trained by Rolls Royce Aerospace Engineers did you.

tch tsk

chainbreaker becomes lockring breaker ... no i didn't spell it wrong !

it could be worse...

Who uses an extension to tighten things!?? Crazy!
It's only a bike not a lorry.

Get a decent lockring tool and a persuader, you scorching mincer.

Careful not to crash.

A hamfisted idiot.

With a bit of heat and a short pole it came off.

Are you twats turning it the right way?

Yes, we double checked. Even Multigroves could not get it off.

Agreed.

I was having a really hard time getting my sprocket and lockring to stay put. In hindsight there was probably something else wrong apart from lack of tightness.

I'd only been riding fixed for a few months when it happened. You live and you learn.

when did festus become the benchmark for all things strength related?

he's weak as piss.

Pump tyres up, place lockring tool in place with wheel horizontal, with something to lean on stand on spanner with both legs....comes off every time.

Have you tried the patented Murtle screwdriver and hammer method?

Have you tried a bikeshop? I hear they specialise in helping people with bicycle mechanics.

Put the lockring in a vice and then pretend like you're steering a bus

Wow, you're good.

You're better.

You're best. At least you've maintained the fun element!

I remember scoot once saying that she used the teaspoon technique for lockrings

Dirty girl!

cold spoon?
