Freewheel Remover for Sun Tour 2 Notch

Park Tool, a renowned manufacturer of bicycle tools, offers a comprehensive range of products for the removal and installation of bicycle freewheels. The FR-2 Bicycle Freewheel Removal Tool is designed specifically for older SunTour freewheels with two-notch fittings.

The FR-2 tool's thin-wall construction allows for use without the need to remove cones and locknuts, providing convenience and efficiency during the freewheel removal process. The 1-inch hexagonal base of the tool can be used in conjunction with a socket, wrench, or bench vise, offering versatility in the choice of driving mechanism.

Crafted from heat-treated alloy tool steel, the FR-2 is built to withstand the rigors of repeated use, ensuring a lifetime of reliable performance. The two notches on the tool measure approximately 25mm across, measured from the outside, while the center bore provides 10mm of axle clearance.

To determine the appropriate freewheel tool for your bicycle, it is essential to identify the type of rear sprocket system you have. If the tool fitting spins with the cogs, you have a cassette system; if the tool fitting does not spin with the cogs, you have a freewheel system. Additionally, counting the number of splines or notches in the tool fitting will help you identify the correct tool, such as the FR-2 for two-notch freewheels.

In addition to the FR-2, Park Tool offers a range of other freewheel removal tools to cater to various bicycle models and specifications. These include the FR-3, FR-6, FR-8, and FR-1.3, each designed to accommodate different freewheel configurations, such as four-notch, BMX, and Shimano/Sachs Aris/SunRace/DNP Epoch.

Since its inception in 1963, Park Tool has been dedicated to designing and manufacturing high-quality tools that empower mechanics and riders of all skill levels to service their bicycles. The company's extensive experience and expertise in the industry, coupled with its commitment to product quality, have made Park Tool a trusted name in the world of bicycle maintenance and repair.

When using the FR-2 or any other freewheel removal tool, it is essential to secure the tool firmly in place using a skewer or axle nut to ensure safety and effectiveness during the removal process. With the right tools and techniques, cyclists can confidently maintain and service their bicycles, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable riding experience.
