Noticed these on Superstar website, but they don't have the sizes I need left in stock:

Anyone know where I could get something similar?
Looks a handy little tool and is way cheaper than the RRP or other versions around.

Somewhere else must stock them?

Thanks

They're great ^

I've never been able to find them elsewhere. I grabbed a few SS ones a while ago but not all sizes were available. I've been able to fit different bearings with just one tool so you don't always need the exact one. As long as the bearing fits inside the tool you should get it in or out

I wanted some, it seems it was one of those things they had a batch of but there wasn't enough interest in them so they never reordered stock.

I seem to recall I emailed them and was told words to that effect.

I [b][I]think[/I][/b] I may have found a supplier.

Waiting to hear back - will update if anything comes of it.

Oh fingers crossed for new supplier.

They look like good tool, a nicer to use than a threaded rod with washers and a good price.

Bit of an update.
Supplier has gotten back to me - tools cost around £15 each, but postage is expensive at the moment (from China....)
Trying to get a cheaper (i.e. slower) postage rate.

Thanks for looking into it.

What if we do a combined order to get them into the UK and then post them out separately to each person? Would that make it more economical?

Just about to order a new frame that may require such a look in the future. If that happens, I might well be on board for a couple.

I just changed the bearings on my frame and want these for next time. Threaded rod and sockets are a right pita.

Haven't forgotten about this.
Comms with Taiwan is a bit slow.....
Now it's new Year for a few days I'm hoping they come back with some revised postage costs.
Have also asked about discount for bulk orders.

Watch this space!

Still watching, which is fine, as I've not decided which new frame to get yet.

I'd happily pay for a 6902 if they could be found
