BB & HS tools
I'm getting parts to install on my frame, and I'll need tools to install them.
Sugino 75 BB: Park HCW-5 lockring spanner? I have a Hozan C-205... will that work as well? 1" threaded headset: 30mm/32mm or 32mm/36mm cone wrenches? Thanks. |
for the bottom bracket - get a bottom bracket tool (cheap)
for the headset - a headset tool is expensive, but you can buy parts to build one from the hardware store (I built one with HighPants and I think the whole thing cost around $4 and worked like a champ) There's also a special wrench for tightening your headset that's around $15 for the cone wrenches, are you rebuilding your hubs? All in all buying tools is always more fun than having your bike worked on by someone else... |
Since when don't threaded headsets require a press?
And the OP referred to headset wrenches as cone wrenches for some reason. 30/32mm or 32/36mm are what you need for tightening and adjusting the headset. |

Oh, then yeah, you need headset wrenches.
