How do I clean the tool?

Why is the handle red?

Troubleshooting

Pins slipping out of component holes

Verify that the pin spacing is exactly aligned with the holes and ensure you are keeping downward pressure while turning.

Apply a light drop of bicycle lubricant to the pivot point of the spanner to ensure smooth adjustment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable high-carbon steel construction
  • Ergonomic, easy-to-grip vinyl handle
  • Versatile adjustment range for different hole spacings
  • Color-coded for quick identification in a shop environment

Cons

  • Not compatible with modern freehub systems
  • Requires manual adjustment for each specific component

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the SPA-2 for use, simply adjust the spacing of the pins to align perfectly with the holes of your component. Ensure that the pins are seated fully into the holes before applying torque to avoid rounding the pins or damaging the component. For maintenance, keep the tool clean of grease and grime after each use. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust, despite the high-carbon steel construction. Periodically inspect the pins for any signs of deformation or bending; if the pins become worn from heavy use, replace the tool to ensure continued safety and performance.
