removing cassette

[iepeulas]

Hey All,

Sorry I haven't been hanginout with ya'll lately, but life gets busy sometimes. I just picked up some Bontrager race tubless wheels and I just want to swap my old cassette over to the new wheels. I bought a park shimano freehub/cassette tool, but what do i do with it?? If I turn counter clockwise the cassette freewheels. Do I need a chain whip?????

Thanks

You can try holding it with a rag (so it does not dig into your hand) - if it is not on really tight, you may be able to get the casette off that way.

wrap a chain around the cogs and around a dowel or a rag to hold on to. Again, if not too tight, this should work.

Chain whip should solve it.
