Freewheel Remover for old 2 Prong Regina Freewheels?
 
My Park tool for Suntour freewheels doesn't fit the older Reginas. I've had one which has really wide slots, and that I could remove, despite that the prongs were way smaller. Now I have 2 which have smaller slots than the Suntour tools prongs, so I can't get it on at all. Anyone know anything about this? I don't know if I should ask this on Bicycle Mechanics.

Try taking a spare Suntour remover and grinding the tabs down.

Sammy, I think this is the tool you want: http://www.biketoolsetc.com/index.cg...item_id=CU-073.

I don't know if the overseas shipping charge will be mighty, however.

That's what I need. People sell Cyclus in the UK, so I may be able to order it here.

I did this and it still works fine on the suntour freewheels too, doesn't take a lot of grinding to make it fit.

I just did it too. It's not perfect - I think the diameter should be slightly smaller for the Regina, but it did the job and the freewheel is off. Thanks all!
