Review on Bike Bicycle Headset Crown Removal by Christopher Millet

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great tool - works as intended

Works great. Here's what you need to know if you've never used it or have had trouble. The crown barrel is pressed in and usually the head tube has some kind of taper. When you use the tool, it may not actually loosen the clip, but it will move it up the shaft. At this point, you can tap it lightly with a rubber mallet or rubber mallet. Then the race should be over. The tool's job is to pry it out of the set so it can be easily removed.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Available in white only
