Bontrager RaceLite Front Wheel - Lock Nut Tool

[chris2222]

If anyone could help it would be appreciated ….. I have a set of Bontrager wheels on my bike and the front bearings have finally gone. I’ve noticed that Bontrager have a lock but on the hub that needs a special c spanner (in picture) - unfortunately I no longer have this (can’t even remember getting it tbh).

Could anybody help me out by pointing me to a tool online or perhaps have one they could lend to me or sell…..

Any help is greatly appreciated as I’m currently a bit stuck !

How about an adjustable pin wrench like for cup/cone bb’s? Pins might need shaped slightly to fit but that lock rings shouldn’t be too tight unless it’s corroded. Screw fix do one for angle grinder fittings for a few quid.

If it's just for preload you might be able to get by using a few darts... Remove the fins first. If it's under tension than pin spanner as stated above.

You might be able to get away with using circlip pliers.

Thanks - That’s great I will give them a shot - I was worried about damaging anything and expecting it to be on tight , hopefully it will just come off with the above, I’ll let you know how it goes
