not sure either will do the job, is the x-type axle the same size as isis? or bigger? same size = ok (probably), bigger = won't work (probably)

I know your respond uses xtype but the tools you mentioned say they are for square taper or isis, no mention of xtype.

I used the self extracting bolts from my xt octalink chainset, not much good to you tho.

edit sorry bbb says "splined" and parks says it will do sram power spline (?) still no mention of xtype tho.

you should have self extracting bolts so no - you need a 10mm allen key and an 8mm allen key i reckon. then a mallet to tap he arm off the spindle...

what chainset on your cannondale? if it's an RF you may be able to borrow the self extracter bolt from that to get you respond cranks off.

ISIS extractor will do the job, don't get a sqare taper/powerspline tool unless it comes with an ISIS/Octalink adaptor too.

You can use one of the above on isis and a small socket piece to act as an adapted that's all I've ever used.
