Whatsup! Posted September 25, 2019 Share Hi All I have accepted a challenge from a work colleague to help "service" an old Raleigh Bomber 5 speed.Upon deliver, I would like to extend it to more of a restoration project. I full strip and rebuild. The bike is in pretty bad shape from sitting for years and not been services etc. I will post some pictures as I go, if anyone is interested. The biggest challenge I have, is my lack of tools for older bikes. :Would anyone be able to assist in lending me the following tools, which are pretty standard for any old English bicycles from what I understand. 1) 2 notch freehub tool - Park tool FR 22) Park tool HCW-11 . From some searching on the interweb, I may be able to get away with an adjustable spanner, but would prefer using the correct tool if possible, to avoid any potential damage. I have looked at making a 2 notch tool, by grinding down an old socket spanner. Again, would prefer the original tool if possible. If I cant do it myself, then I will take it to a bike shop to assist with these two components. But I prefer the challenge of doing it myself. I am happy to compensate in beer. PS, I am in the Milnerton area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
