Cyclo freewheel tools.....
Does anyone have one they can measure for me? I need the maximum outside dimension of the 'tangs'.
Thanks,
Jim

Do you mean the one similar to a Suntour 2 prong remover or one of the older ones? If you show a picture of your freewheel I can probably match up and measure one of my collection.

Cyclo 72 freewheel is measuring right at 29.0 mm maximum o.d. where the prongs would fit...
and they should be less than 7.0 mm wide.
Prongs of a recommended French tool the VAR #188 measure 28.57 mm o.d. and only 5.22 mm wide.

Park FR-2 beside the Var 188 for size comparison
and they should be less than 7.0 mm wide.

Stronglight, thanks for the pics.
I cant get the freewheels off of my PX10's due to not having the proper tool. I cant find one and dont trust my LBS.

It has been a long time since I used this particular tool, but I remember that it was a very difficult removal. The 'tangs' do not fit in very deeply, allowing the freewheel to slip out easily. Definitely use a quick release skewer to axle nut to hold the freewheel remover on while removing.
