JT! Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I have a standard ACS freewheel tool, and that got off my dicta, and my acs, i also think it fits my eno, can't see why it wont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecatracingcat Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Yeah, there's a few different tools, can't remember what fits what. Ring your lbs and quiz them. or just take it down there, once it's on tight it should be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-A Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Slip, rip goes ur hand. ← Then you bolt them down. Or use a vice. They do work and work well in my experiance. Sam you just need a standard freewheel tool I think. If it comes to it just ask where ever your buying it from, say what freewheel you have and check it will fit.

rickycoleman Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 i spent hours once trying to remove a 16t acs with a 18t sized remover, so make sure you get the right size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've removed 18t and 16t, and one 17t, ACS and dicta freewheels with the same tool. Got it from supercycles for £5 when I got my first ACS. I thought the only size issues were to do with the freewheels that use a smaller thread like the 13t ones, they needs a different tool.

I thought the only size issues were to do with the freewheels that use a smaller thread like the 13t ones, they needs a different tool. ← DING DING DING we have a winner. I believe almost all freewheel tools have the 4 seperate bosses on them to mate with the extruded/scooped parts of the freewheels. Same for Eno, Dicta, and ACS's. The only difference is when you have a 14t> freewheel because the internal thread size is smaller, so the over-all freewheel has a smaller diameter, meaning Mr. Remover is as impotent as a 103-year-old. Some freewheel do require different tools, but typically they're so shit you wouldn't even want to have them near your bike, let alone functioning as part of it. Freewheel removers work fine.
