yet another what spanner thread
« on: 08 March, 2010, 02:15:20 pm »
In the last week both my campag butter scoop spanner and my heavier workshop spanner have gone missing which is more than somewhat irritating.

But as one door closes another opens. I rather fancied getting a tracknut/locknut* combo spanner which I'd seen discussed herein a while ago but with two spanners in the drawer I had no need. Now I do but cannot remember who makes it. Do you?

*Before anybody says why do you use locknuts I do because I use Miche Track sprockets* which are retained on a cassette by a lockring.

** Before anybody says but they're crap, 'they work for me'.

Very nice, if you've got 15mm nuts.

I'm favouring the Campag spanner, but one good thing about that Trixie, not mentioned in the ad, is that by using the hole drilled in it, a joining link and some chain, you can make a chain whip. Out of it.
