Any oldschool bicycle guru's out there? I recently picked up an oldschool 12spd peugeot road bike offa craigslist. I'm trying to pull the rear hub area apart but I can't get the cassette off. I've got a lockring removal tool that fits perfectly, but this cassette isn't like any I've seen on the internet. It's oldschool suntour, so I think it's OG material for the bike. Anyway, most lockrings look like this: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/free-k7/...wl-suntour.jpg and mine looks like this: http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2885/img2113.jpg Notice the extra piece around the outside of the lockring. The tool I bought fits right into the inner ring. So any suggestions on how to get this thing apart without wrecking it? Thanks!! |
there's a bike store in kerrisdale thats really good that would be able to get that for you. Same with the ones in Vancouver (it could be called simons maybe?) it's a pretty common part it looks like. |
Yeah there's a few pretty close to me, but I'd like to do it myself so I know how to next time it happens. Thanks for the suggestion! |
buy the part and do it your self. I'm not talking about getting them to do the work. |
Do you need to unscrew the outer ring? (if thats the one you are referring to) maybe try and use a pair of pliers and turn the outer ring with the two slots? |
Are you mobile? I was a bike mechanic for years many moons ago I can get that off for you. Its simple should only take a few minutes. |
I guess that's what I'm asking. Do I need to unscrew that outer ring? I've got the tool for the inner ring. I already broke one set of needlenose pliers trying to get the inner ring. I would much rather figure out how to get it done myself than have someone do it for me. |
did you try unscrewing it clockwise |
nope, I don't have a chain whip atm. all of the how to's and videos i've seen for the suntour gear has always been anti-clockwise |
Go to Our Community Bikes on Main and 17th, you still get to do it yourself but they might give you some pointers...if you get fed up and want it done. |
Impact Gun did the trick. Thanks guys |
