700c?

violent_keith

Hi , total idiot question I'm hoping someone can answer . I need a tool to remove the preload adjuster from my voodoo bantu , it's got suntour xcm forks . All it says in the description of the tool on the website is "will fit all 700c forks" . What does 700c mean ?

700c is the same as 29 inch wheels.

The top two are links for 2 variations of the tool I need and the bottom one is my bike on halfords , if you've got time to spare to have a look and try figure out what I need I'd really appreciate it , I'm kinda stumbling round in the dark

Who can say. They look different sizes in the pics, but that's diameter. You could measure the cap and ask the shop to confirm the measurement.
Or they are identical and just look different. Although they have different product codes.
Or just use a pair of vice grips - pad with a bit of old inner tube or similar if you don't want to cause any damage.

Fairly sure I've got both of those back at home as I wasn't sure which size I needed.

PM me your home address and I'll stick them in the post - I don't have any Suntour forks in the house any more so don't need them.

Don't try and use grips or pliers on those caps - they are only plastic resin and you will destroy them. U need to get the right cap tool as the diameters are different between the different size forks.
