Furbz Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Hi All, i have a Fiji Feather SS.lekker little pushy. however i want to remove the rear "freewheeling" cog from the wheel,this requires some sort of tool. the cog i have is a threaded cog. now i have tried cyclelab and for the past 2 weeks have been sent from piller to post by them. so i've essentially given up on getting help there. does anyone in the fourways area have a single speed cog puller who can assist me in removing this cog? here is what the cog looks like that i want to remove Thanks in advance!

rouxtjie Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 You mean chainwhip and lockring remover....2 tools Most lbs have them
Furbz Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 You mean chainwhip and lockring remover....2 tools Most lbs have them no lock ring as far as i can see...
Furbz Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 now i have tried the ole flathead screw driver and a good wallop but it seems pretty jammed on there...
droo Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 You mean chainwhip and lockring remover....2 tools Most lbs have themNope. Not for this one. This calls for a Park FR-2 or a TL-FW40 from Shimano. Neither are common, but a decent LBS should have one of the two... johannrissik 1

Ja, most of the time the amount of enthusiasm shown to assist is directly proportional to the amount of $'s that will go into their pockets. Loose cog 1
CAAD4 Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 That was why I changed to a Shimano compatible hub instead. The screw on BMX cassettes are dirt cheap (R70), but the tool is R325.00...... The other side is probably the side to show where the recess for the tool is.
Tumbleweed Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 JB couldn't assist? Shocked and stunned, I am, shocked and stunned... Wyatt Earp and rouxtjie 2
RockCoach Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 JB couldn't assist? Shocked and stunned, I am, shocked and stunned... Eish. The one who can do that is not here today... Tumbleweed 1
droo Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 JB couldn't assist? Shocked and stunned, I am, shocked and stunned... Last time I spoke to him he had over 400 bikes in the workshop. Chances are he was too busy pivoting about his p*ephol somewhere in the back.
