Park is quality.Sep 26, 2008
This is another quality tool from Park Tool.
This does NOT fit the DPN MegaGear 7-speed 13-34 freewheels; I believe these require the FR-1 but will speak with Park Tool and make this information available if I find out!
I have several questions about the Schwinn components especially their freewheels as they switch from the 13-34 DPN Mega Gear to the Shimano 13-34 Mega Range freewheel year to year, model to model.
I would like to know if I can buy the Shimano to replace the freewheel found on so many bikes in the $300.00 range; made by Long YIH CO also stamped Slick Shift System by DNP freewheel.
Hours of research has led me to China and the Long YIH Co where an apparently small company is located and made the DPN Mega Gear AKA the DNP FREEWHEEL, I did find a nickel or CHROME ... DNP LY-100/KF WIDE RATIO FREEWHEEL from an auction site I do not use for about $20.00 ... my interest is only to identify the bike parts on my bike but to help others as I have searched for hours without answers ... only many questions on dozens of bicycle forums.
Bike owners should not be confused by a manufacturer that decades of loyal American youth grew up with only to find out that the part numbers, part name and the ability to buy parts from third parties is a well kept secret or it would seem as you cannot find the bike freewheel without hours of searching spanning the globe.
Yep I tagged this for DPN MegaGear 13-34 7-speed freewheel owners and I give Park Tools their due as a quality tool company ... the question many seek is what tool to purchase for a part that is ... well ... difficult to find ... try to find a new DPN 13-34 freewheel for your bike and see what I am rambling about.

The right tool for the jobAug 04, 2007
Like all Park tools, this one is nicely made and has a good "feel" to it. Unless you're a professional bike mechanic, you probably won't use this tool often--but when you need it, nothing else will work. I may not use it again for years--but it's nice to have it in my toolbox, just in case.
A couple of notes for beginners: you will also need 1.) a chainwhip, and 2.) a big Crescent wrench. I learned this the hard way. If you have all three tools, you can remove your cassette in a couple of minutes. If you don't have all three tools, forget it! (Most people probably already know this, but I guess I was a slow learner!)

Works very nicelyMay 22, 2007
I actually have the version of this Park tool with a spindle that goes into the hollow quick release style axle. It removes the lockring that holds the gear rings on the cassette's spline body. You might think you would never want to remove those, but it is a handy thing to do for cleaning grit and gunk from your cluster. Just remove them and soak them in a cleaning solution, rinse, dry, and reinstall. Also, removing the gear rings gives you more room if you need to adjust the bearing cones or allows you to replace a worn ring. But, the back five or six gear rings are riveted together in one piece. This tool did not fit the cheap cassette on my wife's Wal-Mart bike, though. A chain whip or the careful use of a pipe wrench is a necessary auxillary tool to hold the cassette so it does not turn when removing the retaining ring.
