C-Spanners

So it turns out I need a c-spanner to adjust the chain tension on my bike, which should have been in the bike's tool kit. However, the tool kit turned out to be empty. :roll:


I've been having a look around, and Triumph ones (where available) seem to be about £15, but also somewhat flimsy-looking.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for one that's worth getting?

Hi


The triumph C spanner for the concentric hub is useless too short and wobbly I bought a purpose made one from Amazon. then sold the bike :( Got a R1200RT instead :)

Its now used as a hook to hold my keys. If your round the Manchester area its yours for a tenner


Its like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-Chain-Hub-Tool-Daytona-Sprint-ST-Speed-Triple-Made-from-Stainless-Steel/292186202506?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3D83d3fdf096e94309bb6e830d7ba81716%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D263093101539&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

Or use a flat blade screwdriver and a hammer :seeya:

 

Can't even picture how that would work!

 

Technique used here to adjust coilover suspension without a c-spanner.

I've got one of those in the link.......much better than the flimsy thing in the toolkit....... 8-)


Remember to keep the hub maintained though.....or it'll seize up....... :shock:

Is there anything I should be doing other than throwing it at a mechanic as per maintenance schedule?

Nothing.......If you trust the mechanic to actually maintain the hub....... :wink: I'm very much DIY....... :wink:

 

I've been recommended to take it out to Clive Wood when the time arises: http://www.mk1speedtriple.co.uk/clive-wood-independant-triumph-specialist/


From everything I've read he certainly seems to do a good job!

Agree. Clive Wood is the man to see. His reputation speaks for itself. Does an excellent job, works completely different to run of the mill dealers.
