TL-6 Tire Levers

Tire levers are designed to remove and install
tires from the rim of a wheel. TL-6 Tire Levers
have a steel core that is covered with a special
composite material to prevent scratching
of carbon fiber, anodized and painted rims.

Instructions:

Deflate tire completely. Push bead of tire from
edge of rim. Insert tip of one lever under bead.
Insert tip of second lever under bead 8 - 10 cm
from first lever. Push down on both levers to pry
up bead. Slide second lever along rim until bead
is completely removed. Remove second tire bead
from rim to completely remove tire and tube.

VP-1 Vulcanizing Patch Kit

Glass, thorns, nails, and other debris can punc­ture a wheel’s inner tube, which holds air inside
the tire. The VP-1 Patch Kit is used to patch small
holes so the punctured tube can be reused.

Instructions:

Locate cut or tear then clean and dry surrounding
surface to promote adhesion of boot. Peel
the protective backing from TB-2 and apply,
allowing TB-2 to adequately overlap damaged
area. Note: The TB-2 is designed for emergency
use. A patched tire should be replaced as soon
as possible.

GSC-1 GearClean Brush

The GSC-1 is specially designed to remove dirt,
grit, and grime from the sprockets on the rear
wheel. Just insert the curved end of the GSC­1 between the gears and pedal backwards.
Then use the brush end to remove the loosened
dirt and grit. Also works great for cleaning
derailleurs, brakes and anywhere grease and
dirt collect.

SR-11 Chain Whip

The SR-11 is used when removing cassette cogs
from the rear wheel. It firmly holds the cassette
cogs so a cassette lockring tool can be used to
remove the cassette lockring.

SCW Shop Cone Wrenches
(13mm to 19mm)

Park Tool Shop Cone Wrenches are designed to
fit the narrow wrench flats on hub adjustment
cones and locknuts when disassembling, as­sembling, and adjusting wheel hubs.

Patching Inner Tubes

1. Remove tire and tube from wheel using
tire levers.

2. Re-inflate inner tube until double in size.

3. Inspect inner tube for leaks.

4. Lightly buff area around hole with sandpa­per and wipe away dust. Deflate tube.

5. Apply a thin coat of vulcanizing fluid and
spread evenly around area of hole. Allow
fluid to dry.

6. Peel protective backing from patch (leave
clear film on patch), center patch to hole,
and press firmly onto tube.

7. Place tube inside tire, install tire on wheel,
and pump to pressure recommended on tire.

TB-2 Emergency Tire Boot

Designed to get you back on the road or trail, the
TB-2 Tire Boot quickly and easily installs to patch
cuts, scrapes, and tears in any size tire. The thin,
reinforced tire boot film adheres to the inside of

FR-5 Cassette Lockring Tool

A cassette lockring tool is used to remove and
install the cassette lockring and cogs on the rear
wheel. The FR-5 fits Shimano, SRAM, SunRace,
and other 12-tooth cassette lockrings.

Instructions:

Lockring Removal: Fit cassette lockring tool
into splines of lockring and install quick release
skewer to prevent tool from slipping. Hold
cassette cogs with chain whip (Park Tool SR-11)
and turn cassette lockring tool counterclockwise
with adjustable wrench until lockring is removed.
Lockring Installation: Fit cassette lockring tool
into splines of lockring and turn clockwise with
wrench until tight.

SW-0 and SW-2
Professional Spoke Wrenches

A wheel occasionally needs to be straightened
or “trued” in order to keep the rim running
straight as it passes between the brake pads.
A spoke wrench is required for tightening and
loosening spoke nipples when truing a wheel.
SW-0 (Black): .127 (3.23mm)
SW-2 (Red): .136 (3.45mm)

Instructions:

Detailed instructions for truing wheels can
be found in a number of books, as well as
on-line at www.parktool.com. Below are
instructions for basic lateral truing, which
can easily be performed with the wheel in
the bike (more advanced truing requires the
wheel to be removed from the bike and trued
in a truing stand, such as the Park Tool TS-2.2
or TS-8).

1. Place bike in Park Tool Repair Stand or lift
bike off the ground so wheel can spin freely.

2. Spin wheel slowly and look for side-to-side
wobbles as the rim travels between the
brake pads.

3. If the rim wobbles to the right, tighten the
left side nipples within the area of the
wobble ¼ turn. If the rim wobbles to the
left, tighten the right side nipples within
the area of the wobble ¼ turn. Spin the
wheel slowly and note the impact. Repeat
as needed to remove the wobble. Note: If
further tightening could cause damage to
the nipple or create uneven spoke tension,
similar results can be obtained by loosening
the opposite side nipples ¼ turn within the
area of the wobble. For example, if the rim
wobbles to the right, loosen the right side
nipples within the area of the wobble.

4. Repeat procedure on other wobbles until the
wheel runs straight through the brake pads.

CM-5.2 Cyclone Chain Scrubber

The Cyclone Chain Scrubber cleans bicycle
chains quickly, easily, and effectively without the
hassle and mess of removing the chain from the
bike. Regular use improves shifting performance
and extends the life of the chain and other drive
train parts.

Instructions:

1. Place newspaper or other floor protection
under work area. Remove excess mud and
grime from chain and other components
with GSC-1 GearClean Brush and/or a rag.
Shift chain to smallest sprocket in the back.

2. Attach Cyclone around lower section of
chain.

3. Fill Cyclone with cleaning fluid to fill line. Park
Tool CB-2 Citrus ChainBrite is recommended.
Do not use gasoline, petrol, kerosene or
other volatile or flammable solvents.

4. Crank pedals backwards 30 revolutions.

5. Empty Cyclone and rinse with water. Squeeze
fluid from sponge.

6. Repeat steps 2 – 5.

A replacement brush and sponge kit is available
from your favorite retailer (Part # RBS-5).

CL-1 Synthetic Blend Chain Lube with PTFE

Using a proprietary blend of oils and PTFE,
CL-1 works great in wet or dry conditions.
It penetrates, reduces friction, prolongs
component life, displaces moisture, and protects
parts from rust and corrosion. Apply a drop to
the inside of each chain link; then wipe off
excess with a rag. Also works great on brake
and derailleur pivot points.

CC-3.2 Chain Wear Indicator

A worn chain shifts poorly and wears sprockets
at an accelerated rate. The CC-3.2 is a “go no­go” gauge designed to accurately indicate when
a chain reaches .5% and .75% wear, the points at
which most manufacturers suggest replacement
(contact the chain manufacturer for specific
replacement recommendations).

Instructions:

One side of the CC-3.2 is used to check for chain
wear at the .5% level; the other side is used to
check for chain wear at the .75% level. Select
correct side and lower CC-3.2 onto chain. If
gauge tip fits completely into chain link (Figure

1), the chain is worn and should be replaced. If
gauge tip does not fit into link (Figure 2), the chain
is not worn and does not require replacement.

CT-3.2 Chain Tool

The CT-3.2 is designed to work on most 5 to
11-speed derailleur chains* and 1/8” and 3 /16”
single-speed chains. A heavy duty tool built for
daily shop use, the CT-3.2:

•Pressesrivetsoutofthechainduringremoval

(Fig. 1)

•Pressesrivetsintothechainduringinstallation

(Fig. 2)

•RemovesthepilotfromShimano®connecting

rivets (and other brands) after installation
(Fig. 3)

Because of the wide variety of chain designs,
the procedures for removing and installing
derailleur and single-speed chains vary
significantly. Always consult the chain

manufacturer or a qualified bicycle mechanic
for removal and installation instructions
specific to the chain’s brand and model.

Additional information can also be found at
www.parktool.com.

Note: To avoid loss and breakage of chain tool
pins, periodically inspect to make sure pin is
securely threaded into tool. Replacement pins
are available: Part # CTP or CTP-C.

*The CT-3.2 is not intended for use on
Campagnolo

®

11-speed chains.
