Campagnolo SR NR pedal service: tool for the cone
Hi.
What kind of tool do you use to adjust the cone? Common cone wrench for hubs seems not suitable in this case,the outer cage of the pedal leaves too small room for it to work.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

A small screwdriver to jam/hold the cone while using an end wrench to tighten the lock nut. It's not exotic but has worked for me on any pedal of this type.

The pedal in the photo would be easy. Often the cone is much deeper into the body. I use a pair of needle nose pliers to turn or hold the cone then trial & error for final adjustment. Set the cone and tighten the nut. The cone will move very very little but will move. If too tight then back off the nut, back off the cone (one flat or even one half flat) then tighten the nut again. Usually I only need to make 2 or 3 tries to get it just right. Not much time.
BTW, I clamp the flats of the pedal spindle in my vice (a third hand) to make all this much easier while working the cone and nut.

If it were Campagnolo a 13mm cone wrench is the answer.
As others have advised this one is a Japanese copy.
Copper jaws in a vise on the crank end, I have a shallow 1/4" drive socket that would access this cone, doing the final adjustment by backing off the cone against the locknut.

thanks very much for all the tips shared above. Sorry for my poor technical ability, I could not figure out how to use a small screwdriver to jam/hold the cone. I would prefer to try needle nose pliers.
And a technic in LBS also shared with me his experience that no cone tool would be needed because the key spacer beteween cone and locknut will stop the cone from moving when tighting locknut.
it sounds like a much easier way. I have not tried yet. Will give feedback later.
