It is impossible to maintain, build, or even conceive of a bicycle without Park Tool.
>>2081287I can't believe Temu Frank Zappa invented bicycles bros
>>2081298>movin' to minnesota soon>gonna be a bicycle tool tycoon
>>2081287pedrosalways two there are>>2081302fuck off, we're full
just ordered two flat wrenches because super-b was too fat for my ultegra hubs, if these dont fit either I got no clue what to do other than hit the grinder
>>2081287There he is.The incredible retard.
>>2081307Why not just buy the shimano tool?
>>2081328guess I didn't even realize they had their own tool for the job, saw someone on youtube doing it with the park tools ones on the same hub so figured they should work for me too. now that I checked the park tools SCW-13 one was a bit cheaper from bike24 than the shimano TL-HS33 which is probably what you meant, I'd figure park tools would be smart enough not to make it any thicker than the shimano one. why my TB-HB24 doesn't fit, I have no idea.
>>2081331so you order it, it doesnt fit, and you have to buy moresame reason the nut is stupidly thin/shaped in the first place, it's so you have to enter the Device Ecosystem and get the special tool for it instead of a 5$ adjustable wrench
>>2081339>adjustable wrench
>>2081341>AIEEEE A TOOL THAT IS CHEAP AND VERSATILE, SAVE ME SRAM!!!!!!gonna come over to your place and round off your nuts for your insolence
>>2081287>Park *FoolIf you say so
>>2081307>>2081328>>2081331>>2081339Got a pair if cheapass stamped metal ones from chinkxpress; work just as well as any other one >>2081342>FatsowrenchThat won't do it lolt. have similar ones
>>2081380unironically the only "cone wrenches" (tiny stamped metal normal wrenches) i have are from chink kits for other stuff, and they are perfectly cromulent for low torque uses but i've definitely bent them just playing with Mecano as a kid let alone doing anything on a bike that has lock nuts in playI could not imagine using one on any part of the drivetrain where things are actually tight if not outright seized from the factory/previous owneri refuse to buy a dedicated "cone wrench" and will sooner dremel down its various nuts' surfaces. there is literally no reason it should have a flat for a wrench then a bigger round partthere is literally no reason for picrel other than forcing you to buy a 14mm one-use stamped wrench
>>2081381forgot my pic in my RAGE
>>2081381>Bent themJust unbend them lol couldn't be easierI've broken a "security" (hollow) torx bit on a seized bolt and stripped and bent an hex wrench on another one.
>>2081385yes but that is not the point. the hardware should have been appropriate in the first place instead of FORCING hick nonsense. it could have simply been a 14mm and tall enough walls to use a socket, but instead because Lycra Faggotry it's a 297/512 socket (metric, we at SRAM absolutely sware it corresponds to a metric measurement)
>>2081386It's older than age old shit; you shouldn't be using qr hubs for shit anyway when even the oldest of frames can use 9mm bolt thru which exists for ages as well
>>2081387i recently had to buy a new wheel due to Decentralizing Interactions and a NUTTED wheel was literally more expensive. THEY do not want you to have maintainable vehicles
>>2081388I replaced my cheapass old formula's hg hub with a xd I got 2nd hand, and got a 20to15 adapter sleeve to finally be able to fit my 110mm front wheel on anything other than dh forks (thank you, boosttardation). It's now a 11x 34oval/9-42 instead of 9x 24-36/11-36
>>2081391none of these words are in the bible
>>2081388I'm not THEY but you shouldn't be allowed to own or operate any vehicle
>>2081398when i built my moped, i had a failure so severe the chain bound up in the case, locked the rear wheel, and brought me to an immediate stop from ~45kmh to 0, while on a defacto high speed road (a posted 60 zone, but one used extensively by heavy trucks because it is directly next to a port that specifically imports and exports vehicles and only vehicles)the skid was bad enough that i looked at it immediately and thought "fug it it's nice i'll walk" and once i got it home a hole was worn not just through the tire but the tube had a good inch-wide hole in it. I am shocked that the rim didn't take any damage.Another time I had bad sproket alignment and a similar chain induced destruction and lost 4 spokes instantly, with 3 or 4 more being severely bent. I took the quick link out and rode home under electric power at the hub.This is who you share a road with, and if things were arranged a little better, such range and endurance and overall immediately available power wouldn't be required
>>2081402>>2081398>>2081395>>2081391btw my brothers in airspeed it is fucking Typhoon Seasoni should feel bad for making my vehicle an affront to Thoth, i still havent even looked at the clutch (but i have bought her one new wheel)gonna hit that bitch with the actual socket set instead of the adjustable wrench
>>2081402urge to buy JEEP rising
>>2081413you dont need to buy a jeep you just gotta hit yourself with the Installhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwUJbMTIljwBravery and Faith and Vanish and Doom
