I have a pair of old but unused CK qr hubs. They need the preload adjusting. I cant find anywhere that has such a thing in stock. Dies anyone know of anywhere that does? Or have one lying unloved in a tool box?
Thanks
Ian

Don’t you just unlock the endcaps with 2x 5mm Allen keys and add preload by hand before locking the endcaps again?

I think I have one I can lend you so long as I get it back.

These are about 10yrs old...non disc.

There seems to only be the provision to use a 4 point tool to tighten the adjuster. I cant see anywhere to use an allen key...
However i may be wrong.

Spare tools…

There’s on old one there, and an even older one. I don’t run the hubs any more… want to buy one?

Have replied. Both the same pin position. The longer one gets past the disc mounts on ISO hubs, the shorter one only works with non-disc hubs and their old spider disc hubs.
