Can't find correct freewheel lock ring tool (Huffy Strider)
Hello,
I bought a Huffy Strider 2 years ago, gave it a good tune-up and ride it when I know I'm going to have to lock up for extended periods of time in higher risk areas of the city. However, I hit a pothole pretty hard the other night and bent my (steel) rim. I've purchased another wheel set but I cannot get the freewheel off of the hub of the bent rim because I am having trouble finding the right lock ring removal tool. The freewheel was made by Hero Cycling, in India. The tool will need to have 12 splines and be 20mm maximum diameter. Anyone know where I could get a hold of one of these lock ring removers?
Thanks.

I'd really recommend that you just take it to a shop and have them pop it off. No tool needed to install it. It's not called a lockring remover, but rather just a freewheel tool.

Or just buy a new Free Wheel.
