Probably one for Nicklouse...

I need a Park Tool FR-1C freewheel/cassette remover but as it's just for one job I don't fancy spending more than I have to.

So does anyone know of any alternatives that don't cost just shy of a tenner.

I've checked Pedros/Ice Toolz etc but can't seem to find a cheap alternative.

Anyone got any ideas?

I own both of those items, bought from CRC and they do they job just fine. That is all.

I have plenty of chain whips and tools for modern cassette removal. The Cyclo Pro one doesn't fit the old style Shimano cassette.

The FR-1C is specifically designed for Shimano and Sachs screw-on freewheels...and that's the one I need:

Maybe it's just Park Tools that make them now.

take care the Park Tool FR-1C is a freewheel remover ONLY it does not do cassettes.

why not get your LBS to remove the old freewheel.

or follow the destructive removal guide on park tools.
