1299 Eccentric Hub Tool

JMP for about £14 does the job. See evil bay...

 

Not cheap but the best one on the market from Palmer Products.

 

It fits all the big hub eccentrics. It fits my son's 1199 which has the same hub as the 1299 and my Supersport and previous 1200 Multi.

 

Try it and see. There are only 2 sizes of eccentric hub and all the recent bikes from 1098 on use the bigger one which is what the Palmer tool is designed for.

 

Ive used the one inc in 916 toolkit for both 1198 and now 1299.

 

Dont forget to loosen pinch bolts. hehe

 

Last week, my eccentric had got stiff (oeerrr missus etc…) and I managed to quite severely bend the Palmer one trying to move it - had to resort to the old screwdriver and lump hammer trick in the end

 

Maybe it's time to strip it down and clean and grease the eccentric assembly.

 

That was done late last summer, so I wasn’t expecting it to have seized up again already (I’ve put <1000 miles on the bike since) - hence my putting rather too much torque into it before resorting to other methods. I’m not having a dig at Palmer - it’s a very useful tool, but does have its limitations.
