The RISK RL103 Headset Cup Removal Tool is designed for removing press-fit bicycle headset cups from frame head tubes. With a durable metal construction and flexible split-end design, it is suitable for most common headset cup sizes from 32.5mm to 56mm, covering both upper and lower headset cups.

The tool is built with a balance of strength and flexibility, allowing it to expand inside the head tube and contact the headset cup evenly during removal. It is suitable for bike shops, home mechanics, and riders who need a reliable tool for headset maintenance.

The optional RISK RL242 Workshop Hammer features a 390g hammer head and an anti-slip rubber-coated handle, making it suitable for use with headset tools, fork tools, and general bicycle repair tasks.

The headset cup remover and hammer can be purchased separately or as a set.
