Another round of "what tool is this"!
 

I picked up a slew of bicycle specific tools from a gent. In the parts bin was this little gizmo. Does anyone know what it is or attaches to?

Can't see the tool so well with the Temptations dog food ad banner in front.

Gad, the forum is gone to the dogs!

Could have something to do with a tire pump. Maybe a hose goes on that tinner tube.

It's a flux capacitor

Good guess but I don't think so. Both sides are threaded but the hole does not go all the way through.

Maybe some sort of mast base for one of those flag thingies to make you more visible to cars and such......?
.......or maybe it's not even bike related and just fell in the box with all the bike sutff....?

Since it hasn't been flushed out by now, I have a feeling that may be the case!

What are the threads? Is the larger one axle sized? Is it a trailer mount or something?

try the mechanics forum. it might be a more modern tool?

Oxigen sensor casing for and 89 Volvo 240.

Tool for hubs with cartridge bearings?

Possibly but unlikely. Nothing in the bin had anything to do with hubs. However, I did get quite a few items that had to do with BB removal...

I am with the hub crowd but it could be some sort of BB bearing tool too. Any idea on the threading?

If I ever get rid of all my bike stuff, I'm totally putting something non-bike-related in the kit, just to mess with the guy who gets it!

Not quite. It's a PCV valve adapter for a Saab B204R.

It sort of reminds me of that funny tool for aligning the clutch assembly on an old Volkswagon or something.

Definitely Swedish.

It's part of the XTR crank spider tool, the other piece is the 6 or 8? notch socket thing. Forget the part number but it's the same notched tool as the XTR bottom bracket.

It's used with the notched piece and a hollowtech crank bolt to hold the spider tool onto the crank so it won't slip when removing the lockring that holds the spider on.

Edit: IIRC it's actually double sided to work with standard crank bolts also. All those late 8speed and early 9speed Shimano cranks had the splined crank spiders held on with a lockring.

Huh, I was going to guess that it's the dropout end of a fork alignment tool, a.k.a. "turkey leg."

This reminds me of sending the new kid on the job site to ask someone for a gas powered hammer or level bubbles.

We would always send new kids out for left handed screwdrivers.

web printers like to tell newbs to go find a paper stretcher.

Gunkulator Valve .

It looks a lot like a large version of the valve adpater I carry with me so I can use my presto valve with air compressors. I'd guess its some kind of adapter. Not sure what it adapts though.

whatever it is, it won't work on my bike. ;)
