Edco Sprint hub compatible lock ring tool?

Question

I built up a set of wheels with Edco Sprint hubs.

However, upon trying to use my Park tool to tighten the lock ring on the SRAM 10-speed cassette (Shimano-compatible), I found that there was not enough clearance to insert the Park tool.

I have talked to the distributor who sold me the hubs, and he has conferred with the new owners of Edco. It seems that there is a proprietary tool out there for this hub. And the company doesn't have one and the distributor doesn't have one.

Does any of you afficionados out there have one of these or know where to get one?

Without the tool, I have a beautiful, light piece of art.

Answer 1

Yes, I agree that they are beautiful and light.

I had to make one of these beauties by annealing a Park remover, remachining the inside, and retempering the tool. Quite a hassle... next time I'll just make one out of tool steel.

Anyway, if you were to contact a European distributor you will probably find one. I understand the US distributor is not big on stocking tools.
