FAQ

What type of rear hub does the FR-1.3 work with?

The FR-1.3 is designed for threaded rear hubs that use a screw-on freewheel, not cassette-style hubs that use a freehub body. Freewheels thread directly onto the hub and require this dedicated removal tool.

How much force is needed to remove a freewheel?

Freewheels tighten themselves during riding and can require significant force to break free. Use a long adjustable wrench or clamp the FR-1.3 in a vice and rotate the wheel for maximum leverage.

Will the FR-1.3 fit my cassette-style Shimano hub?

No. Cassette hubs use a freehub body and require a cassette lockring tool, not a freewheel remover. The FR-1.3 is for older or entry-level bikes with traditional threaded freewheel hubs.
