You might want to post that over on retrobike: www.retrobike.co.uk

Actually turns out I still need one if anyone has one?

I've been offered a new one cheaper than most places, that'll do nicely.

A cassette lock ring tool won't also remove a freehub. That would be allen keys or spanners etc... dependent on what hub.

Woops, I mean cassette tool, I'm using it for centre lock rotors, I'm not familiar with modern gear setups... Thanks for the correction.

Hi,
Has anyone got a shimano cassette removal tool, park branded preferable, but cyclus would also be fine.

Postage would be required.

Many thanks,
Will

Bump (if that's allowed, couldn't quite tell from the rules) if others haven't seen, it'd be great if someone could help out!

Cheers

I got mine for £20 off ebay, I agree at £56 new it's a rip off, for what it goes for 2nd hand, it's about right I reckon.

Samsung B2100 is quite good (depending on your definition) waterproof and has a torch, no 3g so email and internet are painfully slow.

Hello,
Has anyone got a BB5 or BB7 caliper they'd like to part with? I'm not in london so I'd need postage.

Many thanks!

Track wheel will be the standard 120mm spacing so I figure to make up the 6mm.I add 2mm spacer at each side then screw tighten the rest.

Hubjub sell 3mm spacers for this exact purpose - probably worth paying the money to do it right.

I'm unsure how to tackle the chainline as the rear hub is old 105 7speed so assume the spacing 126mm.

Read this http://sheldonbrown.com/chainline.html
You'll learn how to work out which BB to buy to get a perfect chainline.

If I get a new BB can I just use my current cups with the new spindle and shell to get the desired chainline? Is there anything I need to do with the rear?

AFAIK you should be able to use the same cups but I'd wait for someone who actually knows for sure.

Or spend an extra £1.50 from the same seller and get a 14, 15 and 16mm one! (like I just have!)

Thank you Hazzus, I didn't see that, turns out I'm in need of a 14mm now so I've just bought one!

Get a vernier caliper to measure it (failing that a ruler), and you're correct in that you need a peanut butter wrench to remove the bolt, it's most likely 15mm though.

I've got the campag wrench (£15 when I bought it) which is nice, but I think quite overpriced for what it is, I wouldn't recommend it, something like this should do:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elite-15mm-cotterless-crank-wrench-steel-/290738940994?_trksid=p2045573.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27%26meid%3D695511973851754121%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D1011%26rk%3D1%26#ht_500wt_1180

Otherwise Tacx do one with a rubber handle for about £15 as well, looks more sturdy than the campag one, however I can't fault it as so far I've put quite a lot of force on it and it hasn't warped at all.

I've been searching around but can't seem to find any answers to my question, if it's already been answered, I'm sorry!

What do you look for when you buy cranks? What makes one pair better than another apart from weight? Are they more structurally integral And hence flex less creating a more efficient transfer of power or is this negligible between different models?

Cheers

Surly do some nice hubs

I'd be interested in buying one of these if you do another run, the grey/yellow combination is fantastic!

I've got a 4 speed and I'm pretty sure they use the same indicator rods (the chain thingy), I'm fairly certain you can't use the 3 speed chains (I wish you could cause I snapped mine today). http://www.oldbiketrader.co.uk/ has spares but at £40 for the whole assembly, it's eyewateringly expensive, so try this guy:
