Two things:
I need what i belive is a "peg spanner" for an eccentic bb adjustment - is this correct: https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Ice-Toolz-Adjustable-BB-Peg-Tool_31768.htm?sku=72812&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google_shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjwlrnNBRBMEiwApKU4PLLvbgxbRXWujVX_aMoHA3DW2Jfz7-Gs0YGFBpLnx_I362GQgXz8ohoCpl8QAvD_BwE
Also, what tool do i need to replace a screw on singlespeed cog?
Thanks
Binners and flashy?
Probably.... pics of both would be helpful. On my Bushnell eccentric BB, once loosened off you can turn it with your fingers, though a thin screwdriver shaft all the way through helps. The peg tool above could work well as long as the pegs fit but if too big you can file the pegs down to size.
The single speed, it depends which one, we have two here and both have unique tools!
Right. The singlespeed cog is the freewheel type with 4 indentations which i beleve needs a specific tool?
The BB is the one found on a charge plug. Seems to have 1 x 4mm allen bolt to loosen, then 2 x indents for the pins.
In want to change the stock freewheel from 16t to say 19t to help off road climbing / CX racing - just bought the Charge Plug Grinduro.
A supplier for the freewheel would be good if anyone knows of one.
Thanks
Reckon you have this cog

You will see a freewheel sprocket tool when you scroll down but available from any good cycle online shop.
The bottom bracket should move once loosened but might need a tap, i.e. Screw driver (better a punch) in the hole and tap to get it moving. Or pull it around by using an Allen key as a hook tool.
Reallly recommend giving it a good clean if you can as dirty eccentric BB holders are right annoying things.
Probably.... pics of both would be helpful.
Of Binners and Flashy?
I don't think we need to see that so early in the morning.
You dont need a tool for the ebb.
Find something that fits snuggly into one oftheholes.
Turn crank to press against it inthe directiin you need to go tighten the grub screws.
Sometimes you need a hammer to tap it sideways a bit to free it off.
I've neverneeded to tap it round though 😯

Hammer and screwdriver is the bodge solution for the freewheel. Usually they weld themselves on so it needs some brute force. The tool brakes links to is the proper one. Put it in a vice and turn the wheel
Thanks all
I noticed Evans also do a Sturmy Archer Freewheel for £12. Not sure of its off road longevity, but the Shimano on is nearly £30...
I also have a Sturmey Archer freewheel - it's ok but I don't expect it to last super-long as it's on a bike with an 80" gear so it gets a lot of grinding. As long as it's aligned well it should last long enough - any misalignment and it will get graunchy quickly.
Bit of extra info on the freewheel tool. Sturmey Archer is a very similar tool, but a slightly different diameter. If you are getting a spare different tooth count, get the same make or you'll end up with the same problem next time. IIRC, Shimano is the same size as Sturmey Archer.
Generally, unless you go expensive the quality of them is pretty poor.
with the same problem
Sorry, what problem?
And to clarify - I need 1/8 inch not 1/32?
SJS cycles have a Sturmey archer 19t 1/8 for £15 and an ice tools tool for £5, do you mean theres a chance they won't fit together?
Just fitted a Token freewheel to my SS - it's great quality, fully serviceable akin to a White Industries, not some cheesy BMX job - also comes with the right tool. 1/8" and it'll probably outlast me!
Park Tool SPA1C pin-spanner - had one for over 20 years since the days of loose-ball BBs. Hardened steel, so pretty robust.
Seems that the Token only goes to 18t and there aren't many in stock...
If it's an Ice tool for the Sturmey Archer, it won't fit the Dicta, and vice versa.SJS cycles have a Sturmey archer 19t 1/8 for £15 and an ice tools tool for £5, do you mean theres a chance they won't fit together?
If it's an Ice tool for the Sturmey Archer, it won't fit the Dicta, and vice versa.
They are just generic 4 prong tools, I don't know how to judge any other difference?
And what was wring with the Dicta on Amazon as linked?
as I said, the outer diameter is different. (How to explain this a different way?) The prongs are further apart.I don't know how to judge any other difference?
What's wrong with them is that they are cheap shite. They aren't designed for the sort of punishment that gets meated out by off road riding, the bearings are low quality and badly sealed. The alternatives, like the Token ones are built for the task, but a LOT more expensive. Pay your money, take your choice.
Got it, thanks.
