skaduwee Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Last night we tried to remove an 11Speed Chorus cassette from a set of wheels i bought. The Lock nut spanner diddnt fit into the the lock nut?? why??
skaduwee Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 No one with an answer?? Ok to make it more interesting... the spanner fitted on a 10Speed Centaur cassette but not on a 11 Speed Chorus.. I have a question.. Does shimano and campanolo use the same lock nut spanner?
skaduwee Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 Is the tool campy compatible? Does campy need its own tool?? What i think the problem is why the spanner fitted on my 10 Speed Centaur and not on the 11 Chorus (I dont even know if this is possible but ill give it a try) When i had my 10 speed Centaur cassette fitted to my wheel they used a SHIMANO lock nut on my campy cassete.. and last night we had a "Luck nut spanner" and it fitted on my wheel but not on the 11 Campy..
Spinnekop Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Shimano and Campy have different tools. All 9, 10 and 11 speed cassets if all campy, use the same tool
skaduwee Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 Ok so that just leaves me with; The local bike shop fitted my wheel with a shimano lock. Its almost lunch.. time to give them a visit.
AndreZA Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Well, it will say "Shimano?" or "Campagnolo?" on it.
javadude Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Campag lock nut will say Campagnolo on it. At least all of mine do.
skaduwee Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 Well' date=' it will say "Shimano?" or "Campagnolo?" on it.[/quote'] Thanks ill have a look.
skaduwee Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 They both have Campagnolo? on it, But on the 11 speed chorus it say "11 Speed Only Lock".
javadude Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 They both have Campagnolo? on it' date=' But on the 11 speed chorus it say "11 Speed Only Lock".[/quote'] That means the lockring will only work with an 11sp cassette, does not refer to the tool that removes it. That tool picture looks suspiciously like a shimano tool. The campag tool has much shallower and shorter indentations.

No dont look at the tool, that wassnt the same too as whe used.. the picture it just so that everyone knows what im talking about... Im going to the local bike shop and ask them to try and take it off.
skaduwee Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 CampagShimano The one we used looks like the shimano tool in this picture.. but the weird thing is that it fitted on my campy cassette
skaduwee Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 Ok im quickly taking the wheel to the bike shop.. ill give you guys an update when i get back.. thanks for all you guy's 2c.
skaduwee Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 Ok problem solved.. Campagnolo 11 speed requires a smaller Lock nut spanner. The spanners used on the 9 and 10 speed will not fit.
