See if you can guess what these tools are and what they are used for. I got them all to work on my bike, but for what specific jobs? No prizes, this is just for fun

Tool 1 – Cyclus fork crown race remover – I’ve never used it as it doesn’t fit the carbon forks I got it for
Tool 2 – Circlip Pliers – these are for removing the clips that often hold in freehub sealed bearings

Ha ha, I’ve got a Cyclus fork crown race remover too and it must be the most useless tool ever. It won’t fit any of my modern steel forks, and don’t even think about suspension! I think it’s only designed for 1″ headsets (or at least the only fork I own that it worked on was my ’80s road fork with a 1″ headset).
Headset removers are very satisfying things to use.
