Is anyone still interested in a puller / press kit for the specialized frames ❓
Had a bit of motivation recently 💡 so I've been off and finally designed and had produced the tooling range I've been dreaming about for a while.
Since it was this thread and riders asking me to go and get it done, I thought I would see if anyone is still interested ❓
Definitely.. it's for a 2008 StumpJumper in my case - but I think it's the same idea.

Anyone who is interested just give me a shout 😀
I've lost count of how many times I've used this- and you'll probably have the bits already!

You will need...
1 M6 x 25ish bolt
1 M6 nut
1 chain ring bolt (outer piece)
1 of those chamfered nuts that they use on V brake pads.
Take the chainring bolt and cut 4 slots into the sides.
Drill the centre of the V brake pad nut so it slides over the M6 bolt.
Assemble as shown in the photo with the chain ring bolt pushed into the bearing.
Insert into the bearings, tighten together, then tap back out!
Hope this helps

very cool! any chance of a demo of it in action ❓ , it's very similar to what I intend using on my kits for now.
Ansdy do you own a specialized?
Ansdy do you own a specialized?I've got a Pitch Pro, which is my main bike, but I've used this tool on a Stumpjumper 120, Safire, and 2006 Big hit- I'll try and take some photos tonight.

I like your design, I have one that is a bit better for now, at least I think so. Your design however I think has a lot of potential.
Do you mind if I borrow it further down the line in the development stages of my tooling range ❓

Anyone who wants one of these kits. I now have them in stock, if you've already contacted me please get in touch again as I have a lot of emails since last tuesday as in 500 maybe 600.
Here's how the tools work.
I've used elongated nuts to increase the amount of threads that are used and to enable me to generate more force. It also means there is less likely hood of damaging the tool.
As you can see there is a thrust bearing to ensure that as much force is transfered smoothly as possible.
The Elongated nuts are far easier to use than their smaller counterparts, this makes the tooling simpler to use.

This tooling range has a long way to go before I will consider it to be complete, but with this simple but effective design as it's foundation, it has a lot of potential.
I will let any one who is interested in the removal tool for the horst link pivot see it later, a bit too busy just now.

Rofl - to be honest if anyone is in need of penis enlargement or viagra then you da man!
Oh and fixed the numbers for you 😉
Perhaps you a right Shmeckler, however I have a lot to do and it's more important for me to get it done! than it is to swap insults with you, no matter how much I enjoy it 😀
Come again? oh that'll be the viagra!!
Oh FFS you two [b]GIVE IT UP AND GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!![/b]
It's childish and tiring. If you have nothing positive to say to each other then SHUT THE FEK UP.
Hello Peterpoddy, can you or anyone else reading this, think of anything positive to say about or too cruzheckler ❓
That said I have a lot on so I will sacrafice the enjoyment and laughter I get from these kinds of online exchanges and go back to what I was doing.
Hope everyone reading this has a good saddle year, farewell!!!
Here's the tool that I've created to deal with the Specialized wheel drop out and other blind housing set ups, it's nothing complex but it isn't expensive and does work well.
I have another design but I think it's more imortant to get other kits available for other frames, than it is to develop a range that works fine for now.
I can do the Giant, Commencal, or Trek frames next, it will take about 4 weeks for the tools to be designed, tested and produced.
Do any of the riders who are interested in this project have a suggestion on what range of frames the tooling should be made for next ❓
Also are there any other tools that you want me to design and manufacture ❓
Not quite sure how I managed to get myself into this, but since I'm involved in it now, might as well see where the trail leads.
Here's a demo of the bushing tool I came up with, some of the designs I tried didn't really generate enough force or were easy to damage.
This design is very easy to use and quite tough.

Trade advert?
The ‘spirit’ of our forum is one where users can turn their old, surplus or unwanted kit into extra cash to enable them to buy new bits to help them get out and continue riding. The Classified Forum is not a place where users can trade parts bought elsewhere and then sold at a profit. If we suspect that a user is exploiting our forum to earn additional income or solely for the purposes of making a profit then we are very likely to consider that as ‘Trade’ activity and we’ll ask you to stop. We will look at each instance reported to us or spotted by us on a case by case basis and then we will act at our discretion.That said we do allow certain types of Trade Ads where we feel they will be of benefit to our users. Trade ads are allowed but only after following some very strict guidelines and rules. If you are in the bike industry and would like to know how you can use the classified forum to clear slow moving and old stock then get in touch with mark@singletrackworld.com.
Couldn't agree more! 😀
mine was not a firm advert - just an idea of COST not SALE price which includes costs + markup
