Tiger freewheel
I have a wheel fitted with a Tiger 5 speed freewheel. I have not been able to obtain a removal tool of the required profile. The internal diameter is only 20mm, it has 12 splines. Any ideas?

Would it by any chance look like this? overall diameter is 20mm and internal 18.3mm, I bought this one new last week from Soanes Cycles in Colyton, Devon, UK, they have been there for ever, over 120 years and have lots of weird and wonderful things including one of these and I think they have another.

Will a cassette lockring tool work? Because that's what it looks like.

If I can't or won't buy a tool for a one time use I just pay the shop to remove it. I think I paid $5 last time I needed a freewheel removed I didn't have the tool for. Cheaper than the tool.

IIRC, the Park FR-7 works on those.
