I abandon all hope and went to my local LBS., how he did it is beyond me.. …he took my wheel, went into the back of the shop ..heard something..then came back out less than a minute with my wheel, lockring loosen.. 😯 I asked how much..he said nah, that was nothing. 😀 …then i spotted fenwick concentrate bike cleaner 7.99 buy1 get 1 and bought that instead.. Everybody happy 😀
