Anyone know what tool you need for tightening/loosening Time ATAC XS end caps? Is there a special tool, or, if not, will a small pin spanner do (and if so, what size)?

I ask as one of mine has come loose post-crash & needs tightening up.

Thanks

Andy

I cut an old spoke and bent it to size/ shape. Held in vice grip pliers like Mole Grips it works fine.

Cheers for that - I shall see what I've got that's similar.

I use a pair of circlip pliers, though a old spoke bent to shape would be cheaper!

circlip pliers, needle nose pliers or two small drill bits and a screwdriver.
