You can get them direct from Upgrade, the UK X-Fusion distributor:

Think I’ve got one in a spares box you could have for a fiver posted. Will look tomorrow.

You can get away with just using the footnut; loosen, whack, loosen a bit more and whack etc. need to be very careful though, otherwise you can strip the threads in the nut. Which is what I did, hence buying the tool!

@RicB that's very kind of you. If you can find it.

I 'made' one by using a long chain ring bolt that matched the thread pitch of the foot nut (not all chain ring bolts have the same thread pitch) and some thin shock hardware spacers. Works fine but unless you have bins of random stuff it might be less hassle just to buy the tool!

Will trying to entice others into your folly make you feel better 😆

99% sure I still have it. Will look tomorrow now, as late getting back from hols.

Send me a dm with your details for postage etc and if I have it I’ll get it in the post tomorrow.

Absolutely 😄
