Just to clarify that comment - the shop tool threads into the derailleur hanger, so any pressure will be relatively distributed through the threads and hole. Putting a hex wrench inside the hole can put too much pressure in one small spot. If I had the shop tool, I'd use that. Without the shop tool, the choices mentioned above. - J -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Your Photos are needed! - http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "I thought the idea was to waste the rest of our lives together.." -- Cyril, "Breaking Away" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
