Bicycle Question

[Les Biehn]

Do any of the bike experts on here know how I can get the cassette off a back wheel? Been trying to use a chain whip and a freehold tool but it won't work. Driving me up the wall. Any suggestions? Cheers.

That might help
Says you need a 16 mm spanner..

Thats the way I'd do it

I found the simplest way was to take my wheel to the local bike shop - he released in a few seconds and I gave him £2 for his coffee tin

Top advice: let them rip their hands to shreds for a cuppla quid!

but like I said, you need a special tool as well as the 16mm spanner

is that small bike shop in Baker Street (near the level) still going?

maybe cheaper than most palces I can think of, right now..

otherwise, have you tried popping along to the recycling(!) place, in Lewes Rd- magpie?

I cycling thread I can't put my two pennyworth in, as you already have all the answers. It's so not fair.

Sadly enough I just couldn't let it go.
