Older Shimano FW Tool, RX100 crank arm

[Jeff J.]

Anyone have, or know where I can find, an older style Shimano freewheel removal tool? I don't mean
the one that is currently available from Park - the one I need is slightly smaller in diameter, has
12 splines, and was (according to my research in the R.B.T. archives) also used to remove the BB
cups that were part of those weird Shimano "front freewheel" systems.

Also, I'm looking for a left crank arm to mate up with an RX100 triple crank. I tried the other
newsgroup (R.B.M.), but got no response (maybe I should have asked for carbon fiber). Anyway, the
drive-side arm I have has Shimano part no. FC-A550-T, and is 170mm long.

Thanks a bunch,

I imagine you local bike shop could order one for you from United Bicycle Tool Supply, or directly
from Shimano.

If you want an exact match, again, your LBS can order one from Shimano (maybe) Otherwise, any 170mm
arm will work, it will just look slightly odd.

Yellow Jersey bike shop has both items, so my search is over. Thanks, Andrew!

Most competent bicycles stores which actually service bicycles will have these sorts of things
