Simon Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 So er, got the cassette off in the end, slid it onto the hub, it doesn't fit, but that isn't the problem right now.The lockring tool doesn't fit over the axle so you can't do up the lockring. So er, how on earth do you do up the lockring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 What lockring tool do you have and have you taken the fun bolt out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Probably need a cassette tool with a bigger bore.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Probably need a cassette tool with a bigger bore..Sort of my worst fear. Can't split the cassette anyway, b*****d pins just wont come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Just smack it round with a hammer and screwdriver, it wont damage it much because lockrings are pretty much indestructable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 pretty sure the pro t2 has a 5 speed freehub, so you wont get your 8 speed casette on if that IS the problem . . As janson says you will need a casette tool that has been bored out/hollowed out, which you use in conjuction with like a 23mm socket bit or an adjustable spanner for extra clearance.Or you could go caveman and try and use molegrips in it?or maybe drill it and shove something in there to use as a lever . . .

011001000110010101110010 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Funny, mine has a 6 speed cassette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 So i ground the pin heads of on the biggest cog, hammered them out, levered the cog of. Had to take the last cog of as the pins were stuck in that, and wouldn't let the cassette go on all the way, so put one of the smaller cogs in its place, plus a spacer on the inside, and bam.Took forever, but was so worth it.Not ridden it yet though as the weather is shit. Just my luck. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Smith Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 the thing that you need is a shimano lockring toolthats what i use and it fits fine, the tool you are using is proabably one with a smaller bore...... the axle on the pro 2 t is a big boy around 15mm i think off top of my headtools are cheap as chips..............ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
