So im after some cone spanners, I have 3 bikes i look after at home plus the odd friend who wants a bike looking after so i dont really want to commit to one size or spend too much on a whole set.

I came across these http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/?fn=produ ... goryId=31#

any good or are there any other reccomendations?

Thanks in advance

    They will do the job for the home mechanic, as you use them more you'll appreciate better tools. don't forget you'll need a spanner for the lock-nuts, an imperial adjustable will be OK if adjusted corectly.DO NOT use cone spanners for anything other than cones as you'll end up with a 15.5mm 15mm spanner :oops:
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    yeah if i had the cash id buy park but i need my spare bike money to go to a new chainset, block and chain.

    I will only use them occasionally to keep things as sweet as possible, don't fancy dead hubs when these things only cost a fiver.

    ty for the advise!
