However, if that's not good enough, you *need* to buy these titanium wrenches that came standard on the McLaren F1! Three wrenches sizes: 10, 11
(who uses 11mm?!) and 12mm for "only" $1500:



Now that is excessive....Good Luck!
If you work on old enough bike components, the need for an 11mm comes up every now and again. (I think I had to use one a couple weeks ago on some Universal 68 brakes, but I'm not positive.) But $500 is juuuust a little rich for my blood for such a device.

Very nice! Btw, when was the last time you were able to use it? Does it work with today's frames?

Also, you know that fancy Facom/Ferrari 34 piece tool kit above, its "ON SALE" for only $595!

http://www.ultimategarage.com/shop/p...roducts_id=430

Don't worry the 3 titanium wrenches are still priced at $1500!

Good Luck!

Sure it does, if the frame is a QR type. ThruAxle 'standards'?..all bets are off.

Just used these on a friends Merckx Corsa Extra with a Zinn installed SP rear triangle.

Nice! It's an ever fulfilling, creative, frustrating and rewarding venture whether you do it for yourself or others.
