Lock-ring Removal Tool compatibility

[Simon Kolin]

Hi All

 

Does anyone know if the 8 notch removal tool used to remove the lock-ring on the older Shimano XTR cranks is compatible with the lock-ring found on the Cannondale Hollowgram cranks?

 

Both are 8 notch, but I don't have width of the Cannondale version to confirm.

 

Just my luck, they are not.

The first image (2 part tool) is for XTR. The second image is for Cannondale.

 

Thanks

I always thought it was a standard size

Really? Wow. And what standard size would that be?

It's Canondale.  Of course it'll have it's own proprietary tool.

Probably unlikely to be compatible as some of the older Shimano BB's had different size tools between the models...IIRC, XTR/Dura Ace had a deeper tooth/groove than others, so the tool had teeth accordingly.

You’re right. My comment was rude and sarcastic. I apologize for that. It was uncalled for.

The teeth certainly look more substantial on the Shimano tool. That said, the lock-ring on the XTR spider doesn't need as much engagement as the BB does.

How so?

Ha! Too true
