Xceed have two new tools available in the form of a rim reamer for 1/8th on-road wheels as well as a 3-in-1 turnbuckle and ball cup wrench. Starting with the reamer, the tool is designed to slightly widen the wheel axle hole of 1/8th on-road wheels to make for a better fitment on the wheel axle and thus faster and more easy pitstops. The tool is made from high-quality springsteel and green anodised aluminium. Also new is the ball cup remover and turnbuckle wrench. Designed for the use with small ball cups as well as 3mm and 4mm turnbuckles the tool helps to easily pop-off ball cups from the ball joints while the stepped design of the turnbuckle portion does away with the need to carry different size tools. The wrench is made from laser-etched high-quality spring steel.
