Stupid Question Time

[Connor Powell]

Hey,

Bit of a stupid Question here, I need to get the cog off my Rear pro2, So i need to get the lockring thing off the end but its on pretty damn tight, is there a tool or any handy easy ways to get it off?

Cheers, connor.

You need a chain wip and a cassette removing tool and an adjustable spanner. Its a bit to fork out on if you're only doing it once - you might be better off just going to your LBS and asking them to do it. They'll hopefully do it for free if they're nice.

If you have an old piece if chain and some gloves you don't need a chain whip, saving yourself £15 or more.

Lockring tools. http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/product/10096.html Quite cheap and all you need is a spanner, some patience and some brute force.

That hurts so bad, and has never actually worked for me.

You can make a chain whip from an old drive side crank arm.

I made one from an FSA Power Pro.

Simply get an old peice of chain, about 10" long, and join on of the links through the outer chainring bolt hole.

Mine worked well for years, was even using it over my proper chain whip.

And when you do it back up, don't go nuts tightening it back up, it doesn't need to be very tight at all.
