[Closed] XT All mountain wheel set issues.

All Shimano 15 and 20mm hubs use the oversized CL locking (needed to clear the axle diameter). It's red (on the XT AM wheelset) and should've come with the wheels. You'll need a HTII BB fitting tool to tighten it up. Hope this helps.

Have you looked at the manual for these on the Shimano website? Other part manuals usually list any specific Shimano tools required for those parts.

There you go -

Seems like there are 2 tools, one that looks like the one used for cassette lock rings (male tool/female ring) and another that has a female tool for a male ring.

I've just Googles the code for the female tool and it seems it is the same tool as used for installing external shimano BB cups.

This does help, thank you. I will have a dig around in the boxes the wheels came in but I think its missing, I got two spoke keys though so thats a bonus sort of.any ideas on the rear lock ring?

Thanks guys much appreciated.

The rear lock ring is tightened with the same tool the rear cassette is tightened with if I remember correctly.

With my lx wheels I had to get a new park cassette lock ring tool as my existing one was too shallow to clear the lock nut.

Its not quite the same, I have a cassette lock ring tool, the splines on the disc ones are deeper and narrower i.e. it doesn't fit.

They must have changed it as mine fits my wheels. Strange eh! 😕

yeah, I wasnt very happy, I pretty much thought it was a done deal too. good ole shimano, ill take another £20 adaptor please, nice one.

it's the same spline for standard centerlock as the cassette tool, but the standard shimango one doesn't fit coz it needs a deeper and wider space for the axle end..
an oopsy oversight from the great shimango I think...

LIFU/IceToolz on is £5 though!
