Product Information

Full details

The IceToolz Hub Cone Wrench Set is an essential maintenance kit designed for home mechanics and professional cyclists who need to service their bicycle hubs. These tools excel at adjusting hub cones to eliminate bearing play and ensuring smooth wheel rotation, though users should be aware that the set only covers four specific sizes, meaning it may not fit every specialized hub type on the market.

FAQs

Will these work on sealed cartridge bearings?

No, these are specifically designed for cup-and-cone hub systems.

What sizes are included in the two-piece set?

The set covers 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, and 16mm.

Can I use these for other bicycle repairs?

While intended for hub cones, they can be used for any application where a thin-profile wrench is required, provided the bolt size matches.

Do I need to grease the hub before using these?

Yes, always apply fresh bearing grease whenever you perform a hub overhaul or adjust the cones.

How do I know if my hub needs adjusting?

If you feel movement or 'play' when rocking the wheel side-to-side while it is installed, the cones likely need adjustment.

Troubleshooting

Wrench is slipping on the cone flats

Ensure the wrench is fully seated on the flat surfaces and verify you are using the correct mm size for your specific hub model.

Difficulty reaching the cone inside the hub

Check if the hub design requires a special adapter or if the lock nut needs to be completely removed first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Slim profile allows access where standard wrenches fail
  • Heat-treated steel ensures long-term durability
  • Covers the four most common hub cone sizes
  • Two-piece set is lightweight and easy to store in a tool bag

Cons

  • Does not include sizes larger than 16mm
  • Requires some mechanical knowledge for proper hub adjustment
  • Not suitable for sealed bearing hubs that do not use cones

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This set is designed for use on traditional cup-and-cone bearing systems found on many road and mountain bike hubs. Before starting, ensure your hub is a cup-and-cone style, as these tools are not compatible with cartridge bearing hubs.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wipe the wrenches clean with a dry rag after use to remove grease and debris.
  2. Store in a dry environment to prevent oxidation.
  3. Avoid using a hammer or cheater bar on these tools, as excessive force can damage the thin jaws.
  4. Periodically inspect the jaws for wear to ensure they maintain a tight grip on the flats.
