Default essential eccentric adjust tools

I just had to adjust the eccentrics on my 86 and do not have air tools.

The 75 degree L-bend helps clear the rotor while you use it and a long tube/jack handle to add leverage. I had about 3-feet and my 150lbs to break the bolts loose. If you use a pivoting head breaker bar, there is a lot of torque and it could easily break. The L-bends are nice for this. A 90-L Bend will not work as it does not clear the brake rotor.

The 36MM wrench is the longest wrench I now own. But with it, you can easily and smoothly adjust the eccentric. I first tried a big crescent wrench and it kept slipping off and my 36mm bicycle headset wrench gave no leverage.

Just thought I'd share.

The flat oil line wrenches work well. The set is 27, 30, 32 and 36.

Definitely recommend a big 36mm for the eccentric adjustment, I've done it twice with an adjustable wrench and it's a PITA. I won't do it again without the proper wrench.
