Needed - Loan of Hope Brake Lockring Tool

[Rob H]

Does anyone have a tool for undoing (and doing up) the lockings on early Hope dices brake hubs that I could borrow, I'd happily pay for postage plus a bit of beer money and obviously send it back afterwards.

Re:

I made one a year or so ago, I couldn't remember who I made it for though so I thinks it's here somewhere!
I'll have a look at the weekend.
Remind me repeatedly.

Re:

The lock-rings with 4 holes for the 5 arm spiders? I've used a Park Pin Spanner like this for mine, http://www.parktool.com/product/pin-spanner-green-spa-1
I just take extreme care not to let it slip out of the holes. Though looking at one of the lock-rings it does show signs of gouging from previous owners attempts at removal. If it came to it I'd drill a couple of new holes on reverse side and start anew.

I have used a rubber Gator strap wrench with success.

Re:

Weight is 299g, I'll work out postage costs later.
I also need to put flats on it over the weekend.

Re:

Use it like this with a QR to stop it slipping.
