Anyone got a Uniglide cassette removal tool

[mikesbytes]

Yeh, need to remove a hypoglide cassette and ain't got the tool.

BTW how do you spell hypoglide


Edit: I was asking for the wrong tool, heading has been updated

[weiyun]

I think it's Hyperglide.

Hypoglide won't glide very well and I don't think Shimano really wants that.

[mikesbytes]

Thanks, updated the spelling in the heading

[weiyun]

You still missed a "r".

[mikesbytes]

Thanks, fixed it

Its not for that wheel I lent you is it Mike, because its a Uniglide. I also have a hyperglide tool if you need, you'll also need a chain whip.

[mikesbytes]

Thanks Christian, then I need a Uniglide removal tool, I'll update the heading on the thread.

In that case its done with two chain whips, the outside cog is the lock ring. One problem though, you are not going to be able to buy another uniglide cassette, they stopped making them a long time ago. You are going to need to change the freewheel body, so you don't need to remove the cassette. You need to take the axle out, then use a 10mm allen key to remove the bolt holding the freewheel body on. Best to get the freewheel body and the cassette then I can change it for you it you want, its an annoying job, but I've had them apart before.

Thanks,

Changing 2 broken spokes, then putting the uniglide cassette back on.

Need to borrow one chain wip

[shrubb face]

ill bring a chain whip to training tonight.

[christian]

How did you break spokes on that wheel, 14G and 36 of them.

[mikesbytes]

Sorry Alex, didn't read your post until this morning, otherwise I would of dropped by. I'm a bit crook at the moment so training wasn't on the agenda.

The ends of the broken spokes are worn, I'm guessing they have been fatigued or broken for a while, but who knows. The wheel works fine without them. That will teach me to clean the beast, could of gone for months not knowing I had broken spokes.

Anyway, I'll get them replaced before I use the wheel again.

[geoffs]

i have all the various shimano tools and whips.

When may i pick up the ladder?

[mikesbytes]

Anytime you want, its in the shed at the back. Much appreciate the loan - thanks Geoff. I'd return it myself but the uniglide has 2 broken spokes

[mikesbytes]

The mystery is solved. The cause of the broken spokes is the chain getting stuck between the the cassette and the wheel. Lindsay replaced all 9 outward facing spokes + the rim tape and now the wheel is as good as new.








The beast rides again.
