mountain_lion Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Slot looks like it could fit a spoke nipple.Round bit looks like it might fit a cassette lock ring, but you will not have enough leverage and will need a chain whip too. mountain_lion2009-03-20 01:03:23

[/quote'] You are dead right...... It is a Patented Nipple Spanner combined with a compact Cassette Removal Tool. It is made bu UNIOR a tool manufacturer in Slovenia. (www.unior-bike.com) Removing a cassete wjile outside to remove a broken spoke is always a hassle. This tool works extremely well. They have a very ingenious way of overcoming the chain whip!!!!!!!!! Go and look at it here....... http://www.unior-bike.com/cgi-bin/cms.cgi?doc=10780&prod=44729&sid=Vpz7MpAUHyBeGro7 They had a stand at the Expo and the tools are well made and some tools suspiciously look verrrry Park-like. I enquired about the leetle tool and was given one for free!!!!! The suppliers in RSA is ORE ENergy Product Solutions at +27 21 913 8985/6
Guest Big H Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Damn that's cunning. Does it work? Yes...... not the optimal heavy workshop solution, but when you need it out in the bush it works!!!!!!!
Guttersnipe Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Right, I'm buying. I've never broken a drive-side spoke, so I must be due, especially since I have those terrifyingly skinny dt-swiss revolutions on my mountain bike.
