Those are really cool, how many shimano/Sram cassette ones do you have? may pick one up from ya

I have 5 right now, the two missing in the pic are in the process of getting clear coated, I also have blue grips I could put on.

I think you should put this on Kick Starter!

Now what you need to do is machine off 1/2 of the splines (half the height and half the length) and it will be campy compatible for both cassettes and square taper BB I did this to my park tool years ago when I was running different groups. Works great.

I always wondered why these tools did not come like this.

Abbey Bike Works has been making these for pro mechanics. They are available to home wrenchers... http://www.abbeybikeworks.com/?page_id=119

Well, they probably don't come like that because there is no way to attach a torque wrench to it. I bought a socket for my cassette tool so that I could put it on my torque wrench. I know most people don't actually torque them, but oh well.

I was actually referring to why the cassette tool isn't machined to use with both kinds of lockrings. I figured it was so you had to buy two of them and a third for the BB.

I will have to give that a try, I could put it in the mill and machine down the splines no problem.

I came across the abbey tool after I made a few of these, definitely a nice tool, but has a price tag to match it. They are machining their own tool from scratch which is impressive. If I ever get access to a 4th axis machine I will give that a try. I am pretty sure the park tool is burned on a sinker EDM, but not positive

Here's a little update, I tried what you said about turning down half the splines and it wroks great. If anyone wants one of these just let me know!

Are you still selling these?

Yes I still have a few of them.

So just to confirm -- this tool can be utilized to remove/install BOTH Shimano Ultegra and SRAM Red cassettes? If so I would be interested in obtaining one...

Thanks,

Shimano and SRAM use the same tool. I switch between an 11-28 SRAM force and a 10-25 Shimano 105 cassette on my bike using the same tool type.

Yes these can do both shimano and sram. I can also make them to do shimano, sram, and campagnolo all with the same tool.

Looks like a poorly made rip off of the Abbey Bike Works Crombie tool.

MarkRIchards, you just registered on ST today to make this one and only negative comment??? If you are an Abbey Bike Works guy - poor form. The Seller already posted nice comments about the Crombie tool. Szaffiri, I will take one of your tools. Please PM with Paypal instructions. Thx Bob

Agree with Bob - very poor form. Szaffiri, I also would like to purchase one. Thanks!! Send info..

I bought one of these tools. Feel nice in the hand. Heavy enough to be heavy enough, but not too heavy.

Best part? Don't have to remove your skewer to change cassettes any more! Bonus!

Recommended!

Thanks for the support guys! It was never my intentions to rip off or make a counterfeit crombie tool. If you want to see some really poor taste check out what they posted on their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/...ools/275599295883849

Actully I think your tool with the splines turned down is a better product than his double sided crombie. How long untilk he copies this and makes a one sided tool for both Shimano and Campy.

Your tool looks great but I prefer to keep the option of using my torque wrench. A removal tool that can remove a cassette without removing the skewer and maintains the park tool hex drive, or better yet has a 1/2" drive to go directly on a torque wrench would be awesome.

Ditto on this. Make a version that can go on a 3/8" torque wrench. Then, sell that, and then sell a combo with a good torque wrench.

For a while I have had the idea of integrating a torque wrench into the handle of the cassette tool. Something like this would be very simple to do: http://image.circletrack.com/...pe-torque-wrench.jpg And you could just have it preset to 40 n/m since that's what just about every lockring gets torqued to

If you integrate this with the torque wrench, let me know. I am definitely interested.

Got it and works great. Thx.
