Park chainring tool

[Darius_Jedburgh]

I've just received a new crankset from Ebay.
Wanted to get the bolts free. Locked solid. Screwdriver was absolutely no use - anyone who says it is has never tried rusted up bolts. This worked perfectly.
We are only talking about a fiver. I know cyclist are the meanest tightfisted buggers on the planet, but a fiver? Some folk can only see the price of something and not its value.

Free only if you sign up for prime, otherwise it'll cost as much to post it as the item costs. The trick is to sign up for a free trial of prime then cancel it just before the trial ends.

Bought mine from my LBS for about a fiver. For the occasional use, worth the cost for the ease.

One of the advantages of SRAM cranksets - the chainring bolts are allen key fittings both sides (on all those I've had) so no special tool needed.

Trick is to grease up the threads before tightening. They will then self tighten and are easy to undo when they need replacing.

I've had prime for years... & it arrived the next day, the light cardboard envelope however was A3 size for a tool 110mm long...

I have a Pedro's chain checker with a chain ring nut tool on one end.

I had to buy a new crank set for my cruiser because I needed to downsize the chain ring. [The original crank arm and chain ring were integral.] The new crankset arrived and I had to bolt the chain ring onto it. The slots in the nuts weren't machined properly, so the tool didn't do any good, but I managed to hold them with my fingers while I tightened the bolts with an Allen key.

It looks like it might be an improvement on the ancient one I've got, is the middle prong on it to stop it slipping?

Yes.
