Shimano and Campy cassette lockrings

[PaulSecteur]

Hi,

Quick question... are shimano and campy casstte lockrings the same, as it will the same tool that I use on shimano be able to work with a campy lockring?

Maybe, they are a little different but sometimes the same tool will fit both!

Beg to differ - they are not the same. Need right one.

You may get lucky and have a tool that fits both... Just!

My shimano tool fits campag as well - its not a perfect fit but I get by OK - the difference is minimal

Just use the right tool, for the sake of a few quid

you can get double sided ones. campag one side & shimano the other

What Rob said. Why risk knackering something by using the wrong tools on it?
