Epoch freewheel removal tool.

[Janners BJJ Clunker Rider]

Anybody got an epoch freewheel removal tool floating about they don't need anymore? I bought a couple of cheap used MTB wheels and one of them has an epoch freewheel. I'll probably never need to use it again, but I like widgets.

Found one on eBay but would rather spend my pennies here.

Are you sure a standard Shimano cassette tool won't fit? The tool also fits later Shimano freewheels.
Failing that a Campag one?

I think should be standard 12 spline freewheel shimano eg Park FR1.3 or something similar

Not the cassette tool 23.4mm

Shimano freewheel tool 22.6mm

Ahh, interesting. I have a shimano cassette tool which as you point out, doesn't fit. So that widens things somewhat if I can use a shimano freewheel tool. OK I don't have one, but it makes getting one easier.

Anybody got a spare shimano freewheel tool that want to sell me?

Thanks folks.

Well that made life easier, combined with a suggestion for Manchester Cycles on eBay I have spent £3.89 which includes postage...so not expecting a lifetime guarantee! Barmy thing is I could have bought one for less from China. I'll do my little bit for UK business. Alas my go to LBS didn't have one.

Thanks for your help folks.

The tool arrived and worked a treat. Needed a 44 inch extension bar to undo as it was super tight. All stripped greased and back on the pub bike. I still have the steel wheels that where original but they are really rusty, hence popped an old set of alloy ones on.

Great news it fitted!
