Lock ring replacement.

[pablodubyah]

I seem to have snapped the lock ring(?) on my Hope bottom bracket (square taper, steel about 10 years old).
Can I get one of these from my local bike shop or do I need to order one from Hope themselves? Is it a common part that any LBS will have?

I also need the tool that tightens the lock ring AND the tool that tightens the bottom bracket itself. What are these called please?

Many thanks in advance.
Paul

that'll be a universal size, I doubt you'll have any trouble finding a replacement on here, or any bike shop

Also any fixie sprocket lockring is the same size!

Thanks for asking this, I have a similar issue on a Tune BB I am refurbishing.

the tool you need is a lock ring spanner, or you could use a hammer and punch, if you're gentle with it...

No it ain't!

A fixed sprocket has the same thread, so in principle you could use one as an outlandish lockring. Track hub lockring threads are smaller, left-handed, and vary in dimensions from manufacturer to manufacturer.

I just read up on the fixie sprocket as I nearly bought one from fleabay.

These things are not easy to buy on the interweb.

Maybe its time to upgrade to more modern stuff eh?
