Swiftly getting back on topic, anyone know where I can find one of these, or have an extra one to sell to me? I've been searching for quite some time and have come up short. TL-PD40, used to disassemble Shimano PD-M520 pedals. The set of pedals I inherited with Tennisball have a bit of axle play that I want to sort out, and need this little oke to do that. I've tried McGuyvering it, but those plastic splines are pretty easy to smush.

 

I ended up 3D printing one.

Ask on the 3D printing thread if anyone in JHB is willing to do one for you.

Did you get this set, and if so, whats the torque wrench like? 

Yup, I did get that set. Here you can see it next to my other tool-belt gear (for scale)

Sadly there is no torque wrench in the set, just a 1/4" ratchet. But that has great build quality, as do all the other components of the set.

Was also going to suggest a 3D print. I've got a 3D printed hollowtech crank tool which I use quite often.

Made in Workshop in Randburg. You can pay to 3d print there.

Saw a post some time back about reading glasses that can fold up and pack away small in a toolbag .... darned if I can find that post ....

 

 

At the time we were laughing about me needing glasses next to the trail ....

 

This weekend friends got stuck .... lack of glasses did not help .... eventually had to ask other riders to assist.

My sunglasses is prescription bi-focal specifically for that reason.  It also make reading the bike computer easier when riding.

For all you old timers ... this may be your solution ... mounted the biggest tablet you can find onto your handle bars ... you can also then use the tablets camera to zoom into any "fine font" that you are struggling with

You can also use the camera and zoom in on the trail ahead.🤣
