Best Tools I Ever Bought

[Rod_Saetan]

It normally comes with three different bits, for French, Italian and British cups. Sometimes you can pick them up for under a ton on the bay. Even the most stubborn cups come out with a bit of effort.

Yes, I've used the one at work more times than I care to remember, and because its at work there really isn't a need for me to spend a hundred quid on one no matter how nice they are

What I would like is a tool for removing old 5 speed free wheels that didn't chew up the two little slots .
It could be just me been heavy handed .

Always secure in place with QR skewer through the hub to prevent it cam-ing out. Clamp the tool in the vice securely. Twist the wheel (easier with inflated tyre fitted for grip/leverage/easier on hands) rather than the tool. IF it is super stuck can use impact wrench (if you have one) with some modified socket or a section of bar or scaffold pole, but need x2 people to make sure the tool stays put and doesn't start chewing at the freewheel!

Maillard sold a remover complete with a through-shaft. For some reason only known to themselves, the threads on the shaft were different to those on a Maillard QR skewer (or anybody else's for that matter) which seemed to me to have been less than helpful.
