I want to change out the rear cassette of a 2005 Cannondale R700 instead of having the LBS do it for me. The Cassette is a SRAM PG-950 12-26. I am at work. Does anyone know the FR - ????
Thanks in advance

FR-5. Here is the description from Park's web site:
ITEM # FR-5
Cassette Lockring Tool
Fits Shimano®, SRAM®, SunRace®, SunTour®, Chris King® and other cassette lockrings.
Should be the same cassette lockring tool that every Shimano HG setup uses. Go to the Parktool website - I can't imagine there would be more than one cassette lockring tool, but I think it is the FR5. All the other FR tools are freewheel tools for older style bikes without a freehub body. Since you have a newer 9s, you definitely have a freehub with a cassette.
You would also need a chain whip and an adjustable wrench or something to torque the tool down with.

Park FR5-G. You'll also need a chainwhip to remove the old cassette-

Thanks. Does anyone know of a good Internet source to buy Park Tools?
The FR-5G includes a guide pin which seems to keep the tool centered in the lockring a bit better.
www.Lickbike.com has pretty good park tool prices...
