Headset - thanks to the mechanic at Billy Goat bikes, who had the wrench that fit the flats. 3. Freewheel - I have been to 4 different lbs, none of whom have the "special" 2 prong freewheel tool. 4. The seals over the wheel hubs that have the special tool to remove. 5. Axles that require 2 14mm cone wrenches, not 13 or 15, but 14.

GRRRR Bob
It's a different 2-prong Freewheel tool than normal, or they just don't have freewheel removal tools?
