Pedro's Trixie Tool
New multi-tool from Pedro's designed especially for the fixed wheel rider. All the essential tools in one cleverly designed and easy to carry piece of hardened steel. Includes a 15mm box wrench for track nuts, a lockring tool for fixed wheels, 8/9/10mm wrenches and a 5mm hex key for stems, seat bolts etc. And a bottle opener. One very clever feature is the ability to bolt on an old length of chain making the tool usable as a chain whip too. Comes complete with two wing-nut bolts to attach the tool to your bottle cage mounts if desired. We're really impressed with this tool - highly recommended.
Here are some helpful reviews of the Trixie: Living for the city and Urban Velo.

Hozan C-205 Track Cog Lockring Wrench
Pro-quality lockring wrench by Hozan of Japan. Recommended for the professional or demanding home mechanic. Cold forged and double ended so should last a very long time. Not cheap but the best.

BBB (modified) Lockring Tool
At last we have a high quality, full size lockring tool at a very affordable price. Out of the box these are superb heavy duty tools but we have customised these slightly to perform even better.
Like most off the shelf lockring tools these do not have a very square 'tooth' - we therfore modify these by milling off a very small part of the rounded end to give a squared off, slightly angled tooth (like the Hozan C205). This allows the tool to 'lock' into the square cut-out on all our lockrings (Dura Ace, Andel and Token) meaing the tool is far less likely to slip in use. The before and after pics show the difference.
Length of these is 10" with the main tool made of high strength carbon steel. They have a really good non slip rubber handle too. Suitable for track cog and bottom bracket lockrings. Highly recommended.

Hozan C-203 Lockring Pliers
Superb pro tool for the frequent user. As with the C-205 this is cold forged in Japan and a very useful wrench. Twin jaws ensure a really strong grip on Dura Ace type track cog lockrings with no slippage. Also designed for use with headset and bottom bracket lockrings. Superb quality, very versatile and will last a lifetime.

Lifu Track Cog Lockring and BB Wrench
Budget, compact and adjustable lockring wrench for track cog and bottom bracket lockrings. A long way from Hozan standards but suitable for occcasional use. Adjustable 'jaws' allow this to cover a range of lockring sizes. When using, insert 'tooth' into lockring notch and close jaw to rest against ring ensuring tooth stays fully in notch.

Combined Chain Whip and Lockring Tool
A superb new tool to replace the Cobra whips that have now sold out. These go one better by also including a lockring tool for track cogs. Essential for removing fixed wheel cogs, holding cassette or cog when using cassette lockring tool (see below) or adjusting track cog lockrings.
These are usable with 1/8" or 3/32" chains. These are a real monster tool with strong welded heavyweight construction and long (14") tubular handle with rubber grip giving excellent leverage. The chain even has a magnet in the end to stop it flapping about. No tool is un-breakable but these are tough. Fantastic value and highly recommended.

Shimano Type Cassette Lockring Tool YC126-2A
Splined tool for installing and removing the lockring on a Shimano pattern cassette hub.

BBB Chain Wear Checker
One of those tools that not many cyclists think of buying but for the sake of a few £'s these are really useful. Even more so for singlespeeders and fixed wheel riders concentrating all the wear on one chainring and one cog. This is a precision made measure that tells you when your chain is nearly worn and ready for replacement - a worn chain will in turn prematurely wear your expensive chainring and cog.
Simply insert into the top run of the chain and as long as the end does not slot down between the links your chain is fine. There are two marks for 0.75% and 1% - aim to replace your chain by the 0.75% mark for best results.

For delivery outside the UK shipping is £2.95 (£1.00 extra) so if you purchase a cog from Europe or USA etc you will also need to purchase a £1.00 shipping unit.
If you are unsure simply place the order as required and we will advise of any additional shipping costs necessary. Alternatively, if you would like an exact quote for shipping or a detailed Paypal invoice before making a purchase please email and we will be happy to help.
