Designed with a robust 5mm thick body and a precision-ground beveled edge, this tool allows you to easily pry the headset base ring off your fork steerer. Whether you are working on a straight steerer or a tapered MTB fork, the wide-mouth design fits perfectly. At 158mm long, it provides ample surface area to strike safely with a hammer.

• UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY: Expertly engineered to remove headset crown races (base spacers) from a wide variety of forks. This tool is fully compatible with both standard 1-1/8" Straight steerer tubes and modern 1-1/2" Tapered steerer tubes, making it essential for Mountain Bikes (MTB), Road Bikes, and BMX repairs.
• ANGLED EDGE DESIGN: Features a specially designed wedge-shaped blade ("inclined angle") that easily slides into the tight gap between the fork crown and the race. This precision edge maximizes leverage, allowing you to pop the race loose efficiently without damaging the fork paint or the ring itself.
• HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTION: Crafted for durability, the tool is made from high-strength metal alloy with a substantial 5mm thickness. Weighing approximately 172g, it is built to withstand the heavy hammer impacts required to dislodge stubborn or seized crown races.
• EASY TO USE: Simply position the blade edge at the interface of the crown race and the fork, then strike the top of the tool firmly with a hammer. Pro Tip: For races with absolutely zero gap, use a flathead screwdriver to create a hairline opening before inserting the tool.
• WORKSHOP READY: Designed with the mechanic in mind, the tool features a compact footprint (158mm x 69mm) and a dedicated integrated hanging hole. This allows for easy storage on pegboards or tool walls, keeping your workspace organized and the tool within reach.
