To determine the type of rear sprocket system you have, find the tool fitting on the sprocket set. Spin the sprockets backwards. If the fitting spins with the cogs, it is a cassette system. If the tool fitting does not spin with the cogs, it is a freewheel system. If you have a multi-speed cassette, you need one of two tools. If the cassette, derailleur, or shifter are labeled with Campagnolo, the tool for you is the BBT-5/FR-11. Otherwise, you will require a tool in our FR-5.2 line. In addition to the correct tool, you will also need a method of driving it (such as an adjustable wrench or 1" socket) as well as a chain whip to hold the cassette in place as you remove the lockring. Park Tool makes a full line of chain whips and wrenches for this very purpose. Since our origins in the back of a bike shop in 1963, it has been Park Tool's sole mission to design and manufacture high-quality tools that empower mechanics and riders of all skill levels to service their bicycles. Just like our other 500+ tools, our cassette and freewheel tools are a product of our decades of experience and expertise in the industry, in the shop and on the trail. The Park Tool FR-5.2 cassette lockring tool is designed to help removed and install most common 12 spline cassette lockrings. It is compatible with the most common 23.4mm cassette and disc brake lockrings, such as SRAM, Shimano, SunTour, and more. It even works with some Shimano disc brake lockrings. Its thin wall construction allows for use without removal of cones and locknuts for most hubs. The deep splines on the FR-5.2 provide secure engagement for any compatible lockring, including SRAM 11 and 12 cassette lockrings.Features: Made of heat-treated alloy tool steel 1 inch base fits wrench or bench vise Thin wall construction allows use without removal of cones and locknuts Has 12 splines that are 23.4mm across Fits Shimano, SRAM, SunRace, SunTour, Chris King, and other cassette lockrings To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
