This one is nice to have on your workbench: genuine Helicomatic tool, EBay 6593099630. $4.99$1.50 gets you a really elegant device that includes helicomatic remover. But wait, there's more: two spoke wrenches at the ends, and a Genuine Bottle Opener. It's grins, even if you never want to see a helicomatic (BTW, I have a hub and FW, no cones, for cost of shipping, if anyone wants it). Just the thing to wear on a cord on your belt at Cirque... slide rules are so old-fashioned now.

Next, a hint from Bob Freitas: genuine VAR Freewheel Body Vise for Regina Freewheels, which clamps the body threads so you can pull the last cog. Bet you didn't know you wanted one, eh? I'd never seen them, now only $3 each at biketoolsetc.com. I ordered two, just to have one to use and one to impress folks with: ultimate documentation of true funkmeister and bottomfeeder status, the guy who still wants to swap cogs on Regina FWs...

Enjoy!
