Hi,

I have a tool to remove the cassette from my hope pro 2 hub on the cross country bike. I've just purchased a Dawes ladies bike to do up to sell, It has a freewheel instead of a cassette and free hub and needs a new wheel however so today I attempted to remove the rear free wheel but my tool's too big! :shock:

Do cassette removal tools come in different sizes or am I doing it wrong?

Thanks for any help.

    buy the correct one. take the wheel with you as there are many different fittings.
