Which tools do I need to replace the cassette?

gabriel959

I know I need a chain whip and a wrench ... anything else?

I have a Shimano Cassette so if you could point me out to the right thing I would really appreciate it

Cassette lock ring removal tool

if you have a chain whip and a big spanner to go with it you're sorted.

Cheers,

I am a cheap arse though, will this work?

If you're really cheap, there's options on Ebay.

I'm cheap and I got mine from there.

Yes, it'll work.

But if you're such a cheap*rse, why did you miss this one, £2 less ?

Because it was out of stock

Make sure your chain whip is reasonable quality Gabriel and the cassette lock nut will probably be a bar steward to get off, as they all are ......

you should have your tyres by now as well mate

Indeed I have, got them today, was going to send you a message that I received them!!!

Got myself this in the end (alongside a new chain so only paid £36!):

I thought that instead of spending a lot of money on one tool at a time I would be better spend some money in something decent.

Might be of some use (to anyone).

That lifeline cassette lockring is pure sh1t. It broke the first time I used it. The other ones like that chainreactioncylces one are much easier to use I find as I can simply use the skewer to lock down the lockring so it doesn't pop off.

gabriel959

well, I tried today and it worked fine to be honest - its not that I am going to be using it everyday, if it ever fails I will replace it with the park tools one

Thanks for the video, proved invaluable whilst swapping the cassette.
