Mounting a cassette - what tools?

Lagavulin

Another newbie question from me... :oops:

New Ultegra cassette arrived this morning. This is going onto a new set of wheels so I won't be removing an old cassette.

Could someone briefly list the tools I will/might require. :?:


Now I just need to choose the wheels and its looking like a coin toss to decide.

a cassette lockring tool and a big spanner.

look on parktools for more info.

To fit a cassette, just the splined Shimano cassette tool (and yes, a big spanner to turn it).
Parktools FR5 tool will do the job I think - see here http://www.parktool.com/repair/readhowto.asp?id=48

To remove it again later, you'll need a "chainwhip" to hold the cassette from turning while you unscrew the cassette lockring.
