Hollowtech II Dura-Ace, Ultegra, XTR, XT, LX, Saint...
This tool is essential for assembling and disassembling a Shimano crankset. It is compatible with all Shimano Hollowtech II cranksets, such as those found on Dura-Ace, Ultegra, XTR, XT, LX and Saint groupsets.
The TL-FC16Shimano r (part no. Y13009220) is the essential tool for fitting and removing cranksets fitted with the Hollowtech II system. It allows you to adjust the preload ring on the left crank arm, an essential step when replacing a crankset, bottom bracket or carrying out a full drivetrain service. Designed by Shimano, it guarantees a precise fit without risk of damaging the components.
Made from a robust yet lightweight composite material, the TL-FC16 is operated manually to apply the low torque required to preload the bearings, typically between 0.7 and 1.5 Nm.
