Fitchel & Sachs Torpedo Tools

Found a tool for the F&S Torpedo hubs that I haven't seen before, and picked it up for $10. It was sold from rideyourbike.com or Aaron's bike repair in the Northwest. The tool is used to turn the round double-keyed cone locknuts that you see on those hubs.



And I also have a small tool I carry when I ride these hubs. It has a 8mm, 10mm, and 15mm open end wrenches and a rounded slot with a key for the same nuts. It is a great tool for quick hub adjustments or when you need to take your nutted wheel off for a flat tire. That square hole in it also fits the square nuts they used on the Torpedo dreigang shifters. I think I've seen 3 different layout versions of this mini tool under other manufacturers names (Perry & Bendix) which were Sachs Torpedo copies.
