Name That TOOL #4
by Bikeman • July 07, 2023
This was as much fun as the Attic What IZIT used to be back in the early days of the internet. Being an ol' fashioned bike shop since the 70's, we've seen a lot of technology and "standards" come and go. As a result we have a lot of mostly outdated tools around the shop. For this contest we'd dig out an old tool and put it out to our visitors to identify. Much like we are posting reruns of the What IZIT we'll try to dust off one of these gems every week or so for a walk down memory lane.
Time to name that TOOL. A classic tool that isn't used much any longer. While the basic concept may seem easy Bikeman wants to know the tools intended use and the specific item it was used on. This tool has a very specific purpose in life... Can you help us out and Name that TOOL?
Was this one that hard.....? I used this tool daily about a decade ago. It seems like we where always overhauling or adding long-travel kits to Rock Shox Mag 21 forks. Every once in a while you would follow all the steps to pull the seals and end up leaving the bottom bushing and spring inside. Then it was time to fabricate a removal tool, usually out of a spoke, and yard on it to try to get those little buggah's out.
WINNER Jeff Kokoszka:
"seal press/remover for the old rock shox mag forks."
