That would be why they sell "cone wrenches".


Planning on updating the "Dream Girl" soon?

Avoid cheap crappy pressed steel cone wrenches, get a decent set . Cone flats come in different sizes.

i kind of want to get some...but it seems like most future bikes i get would have cartridge bearing hubs. you only really need them for cone hubs...right?
