    Anyone got any ideas what it is? It came with the handbooks of my 2011 Trek Remedy, there is no mention of it in the instructions.

    is it a fixed wheel?

    I can’t see any lockrings on my bike, I have looked at the rear shock and there is nothing evident. Fixed wheel, it’s got gears if that’s what you mean. It’s got me bamboozled 😕

    It’s a 5 pence piece, or a 10p if you’re lucky.

    Cheers, as far as I know there are no eccentric bearings on the bike, it did have a bontrager 15mm front hub when it was new, So I can only assume it’s something to do with that.

    it’s a C spanner for the lockring/platform on a coil shock.

    Maybe it was never supposed to come with my bike then?

    as said,thats a c spanner designed for use on a coil shock locking nut or on a motorbike style headset.

    tomatoevousparlour has it right..

    Its for adjusting the preload on the front bearings, although typically they always came overtightened from the factory and destroyed themselves pretty quick sharpish.

    That makes more sense, as both my Top Fuels came with one, and neither had a coil shock, but both had Bonty hubs.

    It was a bit of a mystery round the workshop until I worked it out..

    It attatches to your Prince Albert for carrying that troublesome third shopping bag home from Greggs.
