Replacement C Spanner for chain tightening

[oldndumb]

OnD remember anything? I don't even remember hair. But I do remember how to 'search'. This is a reminder from Stlakid that McMaster-Carr has almost everything. It is a store bought one, which is better than fabbing/modifying one.

hmm.. cool.. are the adjustable hook style's any good? Any idea what size ours is? I just may have to buy one, I hate the Triumph tools, they suck.

The only thing I can remember from years gone by is someone modified one to take a longer more substantial handle that was collapsible and fit in the tool kit.

Pros and cons for the adjustable ones.

By design, they tend to allow a 'wrapping' motion around the nut which makes it a bit more secure, and also lets them be used for more sizes. Being forged, you can let a gorilla use them.

All of the ones I have used were in areas that tool thickness was not a factor. Since they are thicker than the fixed size designs, they could be difficult to fit in place on a Triumph eccentric.

I believe that you can expect the flat designs from McMaster-Carr to be manufactured from stronger material than the T factory tool.

As to the factory tool size, I scale it at 4.60in/117mm.
