F is a shock oil gauge to remove a certain amount of fluid from a shock or dropper post. You would attach a syringe to the end of the tube and then measure out and move the ring to the desired length. L is a tube to push an internal floating position to a certain depth for what brand I do not know
Hi, some of those tools belongs to an old Rock Shox fork service kit. I used some of them back in 2000-2003. Look for the SID manual for those years. I think M are bushing installers. By the way, thanks for the videos.
A is used to unscrew the shock body from the headshok steerer tube, B is used to unscrew the top cap of the shock unit to access the inside. Park tool spa-1 pin spanner does the same job.
like you've listed B is a Cannondale Headshok tool. To be more specific, for the Delta-V Headshoks built before 1994. You can't buy this tool anymore, and it's worth it's weight in gold. It’s used just like the castle tool, but the older forks had 2 pins instead of the 4 slots on the newer models.
J - part of linkage of Girvin/Noleen fork attached to its headtube. L - as people noted, fork bushing tool M - most likely the same as L, but for different forks, color coded for different forks N - DU bushing tool and/or shock mounting hardware installation tools Generally, some tools seem to be framebuilding tools - used either for bending and correcting geometry a frame post welding, brazing and heat treating or are parts of a welding jig.
tool G looks like a tool for hammering out cups. tool I is a multi purpose press for bearings or cups. for bottom bracket or headset. the special thread is trapezoid, for applying a lot of force. this tool looks home made.
D- suspension bushings are in the fork lowers, your uppers slide threw them, they need replacing when there is a knock, you tap out the bushings E is yes a shock pump for air suspension forks or rear shock, to set the pressure in the fork or on the shock, 1 because you can get a more precise 1/2psi settings, and 2 on forks genrally the valve is recessed
E suspension pump for mountain bikes. I is definitely some type of bearing press/extractor. N stepped punch set for hammering out sealed bearings from wheels or pivots.
I also own 'K', I believe it is a spring compressor for a rear suspension, possibly Rock Shox, but I have not found any conformation, or how to use it on the internet or in any of my books.
A lot of the tools look either machined or turned homemade. My guesses: I seems to be some sort of press, acme threaded rods are commonly used for large loads. M might be pieces that were anodized as samples and engraved with the color code; the longer piece is the stock material? N might be for punching bearings off hubs from the opposite side while doubling as a bearing install tool. Measure the different diameters in mm and if they are close to whole numbers.
A + B = C-dale headshok damper removal tool, D = bushing removal tool, F = Fork / shock oil bleeder, G = bearing puller, J = AMP steerer tube, K = spring press, N = Bearing drifts, P = Disc rotor dial indicator........ peace.
J: Part of an AMP-style parallel linkage fork. Its the steering tube and the upper link. I: Tool for pulling bushes out of a suspension fork. L: to get the new bushes back in and to the right depth. For Manitou forks?
No I dont. But the tool I built myself is practically the same. The type of thread is typical for that kind of tool. And there even is an bushing on the tool. At least I think it is. That "flat" ring with the slit. Are those rounded parts a bit oval, too? So they fit through the bushing tilted?
Tool "E" Progressive makes motorcycle springs ,shocks and low pressure pumps . That one is probably used for motorcycle air forks . For example my Goldwing motorcycle only needs 6 PSI 'my older bike only required 14 PSI I have a different pump from the same brand that only goes up to 6 PSI . Fork seals can be blown out too easily using a regular bicycle pump or an air compressor .
N is for hammering out cartridge bearings in hubs. I wish I had one! Makes me feel better- i inherited a huge bunch of bike tools and have no idea what 30% of them are.
L and M look like Seatpost shims for fitting standard sized seatposts to oversized frames. I wonder if H, I, J & K, are brazing jigs for frame building. N & O could be for builds but could equally be proof of concept or prototype parts but that is guessing.
I probably is a homemade bearing press. That’s called an acme thread and it’s nicer than threaded rod from the hardware store but still commonly available.
B Looks like a spanner, it can't be something else, i suspect it may fit some old bottom bracket cups C i got no idea, the first thing that came to my mind is a part of a home made wheel alignment gauge. I maybe a press for hub cups?
''H'' looks very much like a height gauge that goose into a special fixture, probably a flat table for checking frame alignment. If you search for ''height gauge'' you will see the resemblance to the conventional kind used on a surface plate. This one is obviously just a comparative tool, where you set the height of a solid pointer and compare maybe the heights of the dropouts to a flat surface, or the center height of the top tube to the flat surface, and then flip the frame and check the other way. ''I'' Is just a nice press kit, which uses an Acme thread instead of the common V thread which is used in nuts and bolts and regular threaded rod from the hardware store. Acme screws are commonly used as leadscrews for machines, like the leadscrew of a lathe or the feed screws for machine axis like the table of a milling machine, or the cross slide of a lathe.
Hi again RJ It is rock shox part # 70191 used on various deluxe rear suspension springs Ref: rock shox Sid 2000 service manual pg 57 and 2000 spare parts catalog pg 48 still don't know how to use it Cheers Jeff
Are you sure? I would have guessed hydraulic brake bleeder. Put the metal wand in a jar/bottle with some fluid and it won't suck air back in while you pump the lever.
B could be a freewheel disassembly tool because of the two pins E it looks like a suspension pump, but only up to 60 PSI? new pumps up to 200PSI (20 bar) G seems to be an fork bushung set tool I is an old bottom bushing remove tool for an marzocchi forks J as someone said already its a lower linkage from a pro flex fork suspension. a shock is mounted between those rubber rings K the round flat thing is a part of an air shock compression and counter measure tool N tools to pinch out rear suspension eyelet linkage bearings most misterious items C and O... no clue at all ..
I don't know what any of those things are but this might be your most entertaining video to date. :D Good luck identifying them, and thanks for all your great videos!
RJ, if you haven't already, give www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/ a try. I'm sure most of this will be ID'd fairly quickly but still might be a good resource. Also, I believe M might be various sizes and lengths of seat post shims (although they look a little thick and don't have a tongue at the end)
RJ The Bike Guy is their a way to message you on UA-cam, I'll send you a picture of what I thought it was for and maybe you can tell me what the tool is called in case I need it in the future lol
G looks like it could be a lower fork bushing installation tool D bushing removal tool (can also be used to remove bearings if it fits) H Fork bushing tool (www.treefortbikes.com/product/333222370826/665/RockShox-Fork-Bushing-Installation.html) {looks like many of the tools are RochShox service tools}
J Sure its a tool? It looks like about half of one of those parallelogram seatpost shock systems, missing the top half. I That thread is called acme thread or square thread and its much stronger than normal which is why its prefered for tools. O Camptown doodads sing this song, doodad doodad, O doodad day! My ending impression is whoever you got them from is getting more into building bikes and when the empty BB shell came along it was like....YUP.
J - I don't think that's a tool at all. It looks like a part of a parallelogram-style suspension fork, similar to this one: www.ebay.com.au/itm/POG-German-A-Kilo-Parallelogram-Suspension-fork-20-Collapsible-tire-Folding-/311752352934

G=headcap removal tool
2:30
"I am not quite sure what this is for, but I have one now" :D I like this sentence very much.
J is a steerer tube and one of the pivots for a proflex suspension fork
as people have said L is a bushing tool for Answer Manitou forks around the year 2000. They tend to be on mid-range MTBs - Specialized etc.
F is a shock oil gauge to remove a certain amount of fluid from a shock or dropper post. You would attach a syringe to the end of the tube and then measure out and move the ring to the desired length.
L is a tube to push an internal floating position to a certain depth for what brand I do not know
F is a tool for setting the level of oil in a fork damper. “Mountain Bike Rider” UA-cam channel uses it in one of their service videos.
Chad Hladilek yes that’s what it reminded me of
Also used on motorcycle forks. It needs a large syringe to be attached to the end of the hose.
Hi, some of those tools belongs to an old Rock Shox fork service kit. I used some of them back in 2000-2003. Look for the SID manual for those years. I think M are bushing installers. By the way, thanks for the videos.
E is what I use to pump up the air shocks on my harley davidson.
Seems like frame building tools maybe.
A is used to unscrew the shock body from the headshok steerer tube, B is used to unscrew the top cap of the shock unit to access the inside. Park tool spa-1 pin spanner does the same job.

J is not a tool its a head tube and lower suspension arm of a proflex/girvin mtb front suspension i know because i still have a bike with one
Steerer tube*, but yes.
D- suspension bushings are in the fork lowers, your uppers slide threw them, they need replacing when there is a knock, you tap out the bushings
E is yes a shock pump for air suspension forks or rear shock, to set the pressure in the fork or on the shock, 1 because you can get a more precise 1/2psi settings, and 2 on forks genrally the valve is recessed
E is a shock pump for motorcycles (lower psi).
The I one looks like a headset bearing press to me. I think the round parts might go into the bearing races
E suspension pump for mountain bikes. I is definitely some type of bearing press/extractor. N stepped punch set for hammering out sealed bearings from wheels or pivots.
J tool looks like a part of a suspension fork which mounts a shock (usually used in the rear). It even has a star-fangled nut installed
Yes, that one was identified.
I also own 'K', I believe it is a spring compressor for a rear suspension, possibly Rock Shox, but I have not found any conformation, or how to use it on the internet or in any of my books.
Someone else suggested the same thing, but I haven't been able to confirm either.
Will you make a follow-up video once every tool is identified? I'm dying to know what these are!
I have updated the list in the comments as they were identified.
You got a thumbs up from me on this one. Such a fun video! Thanks for updating the list.
Nice, I have never seen most of these tools.
A lot of the tools look either machined or turned homemade.
My guesses:
I seems to be some sort of press, acme threaded rods are commonly used for large loads.
M might be pieces that were anodized as samples and engraved with the color code; the longer piece is the stock material?

Do you have links to photos or something for G, K, and N showing these tools? Thanks!
J: Part of an AMP-style parallel linkage fork. Its the steering tube and the upper link.
I: Tool for pulling bushes out of a suspension fork.
L: to get the new bushes back in and to the right depth. For Manitou forks?
Do you have a picture or page showing I?
I have J & L. Thanks!
No I dont. But the tool I built myself is practically the same. The type of thread is typical for that kind of tool. And there even is an bushing on the tool. At least I think it is. That "flat" ring with the slit.

L Yes, bushing setter. All those are old Manitou forks
L and M look like Seatpost shims for fitting standard sized seatposts to oversized frames. I wonder if H, I, J & K, are brazing jigs for frame building. N & O could be for builds but could equally be proof of concept or prototype parts but that is guessing.
Q perhaps you could use this when you are demonstrating bottom bracket servicing / removal etc. Its like a cut-away.
I probably is a homemade bearing press. That’s called an acme thread and it’s nicer than threaded rod from the hardware store but still commonly available.
Item L: X-Vert and SX are Manitou brand names from the late 90's. It'll be something to do with suspension servicing.
L is a bushing press tool for some older Manitou forks
B Looks like a spanner, it can't be something else, i suspect it may fit some old bottom bracket cups
C i got no idea, the first thing that came to my mind is a part of a home made wheel alignment gauge.
I maybe a press for hub cups?
I am presuming that because there was a bottom bracket shell in the box, that these would be for frame making.
''H'' looks very much like a height gauge that goose into a special fixture, probably a flat table for checking frame alignment. If you search for ''height gauge'' you will see the resemblance to the conventional kind used on a surface plate.

Hi again RJ
It is rock shox part # 70191 used on various deluxe rear suspension springs
Ref: rock shox Sid 2000 service manual pg 57 and 2000 spare parts catalog pg 48 still don't know how to use it
Cheers Jeff
Awesome! Thanks!
Please update us with results... Maybe a tools series videos... Thank you
N is for bushing or seals
I have a tool similar for crank seals on a 2stroke moped
I think M may be Seal / Wiper or Bushing Presses for Forks. Not sure on that though
F is for fork oil level gage how much oil to put in set the level and suck out the oil
Are you sure? I would have guessed hydraulic brake bleeder. Put the metal wand in a jar/bottle with some fluid and it won't suck air back in while you pump the lever.
It might be used for that to lol we use this in motorcycle fork rebuild its a handy tool
Cool! I'm sure the wife loves the new box of stuff...
These tools appear to be for frame build or repair
"J" looks like a part of a linkage fork like the GIrvin models, "H" is part of a frame building rig same as "O".
Actually, H seems to be a RockShox Fork Bushing Installation Tool.
interesting
M is for servicing 2000 rockshox suspensions, bushes i think
definitely frame building tools
if it's not to late. D is a fork bushing puller.
I had that one "RockShox Universal Bushing Removal Tool".
K appears to be Rockshox Shock spring compressor (also page 57)
Weird tools. B is a Cannondale headshox tool but I forget which one, there are 4 different ones...
I think tool L is for an old Manitou suspension fork.
B could be a freewheel disassembly tool because of the two pins
E it looks like a suspension pump, but only up to 60 PSI? new pumps up to 200PSI (20 bar)
G seems to be an fork bushung set tool
I is an old bottom bushing remove tool for an marzocchi forks
J as someone said already its a lower linkage from a pro flex fork suspension. a shock is mounted between those rubber rings
K the round flat thing is a part of an air shock compression and counter measure tool
N tools to pinch out rear suspension eyelet linkage bearings
most misterious items C and O... no clue at all ..
Hard to tell. Like many others have said, probably lots of frame building tools. Great video!
I don't know what any of those things are but this might be your most entertaining video to date. :D Good luck identifying them, and thanks for all your great videos!
I is a bearing press made with acme thread
N are bearing and race rools
I have already verified N as being a RockShox Fork Bushing Installation Tool.
You might be right about I.
J -loks like part of front suspention fork
K possibly a shock spring compressor?
I must be a press for bearings or maybe bottom bracket
I love ur vids man
J is a part of a saddle shockbreaker
RJ, if you haven't already, give www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/ a try. I'm sure most of this will be ID'd fairly quickly but still might be a good resource. Also, I believe M might be various sizes and lengths of seat post shims (although they look a little thick and don't have a tongue at the end)
J looks like part of a suspension seat post like the Thudbuster seat post
second look appears to be a suspension fork linkage
exactly that, one those unique front forks, incomplete
Seems like F could be used for brake bleeds.
J - Looks like part of a suspension/linkage fork. thekneeslider.com/images/2013/08/hossack-mountain-bike-close.jpg
J is definitely proflex/girvin fork parts
G looks like a crown race setting tool
D bushing extractor for a susp. fork
Could be, but not finding one like it in google images.
M purple tube has a Manitou part #
I searched and found it in a RockShox catalog as Bushing Installer Sleeves -Purple 1998-99 135 mm. Thanks!
Letter m, those are a part of the frame where you put your headset in
You mean the head tube? They are too small diameter, and too thin.
RJ The Bike Guy ok that’s what they looked like to me
Don't know what any of those are tbh,but could all the aluminium bits be part of the same tool?
Dunno.
Letter N looks like a starnut setler
J seems like a suspension fork that uses a shock
H looks like a bushing setter for susp. fork
G is a suspension vork bar I guess
Letter M they are bushing installer sleeves
"G" looks like a headset remover / fitting tool
K likes like some medieval torture device
'I' looks to me as if it's something to do with the bottom bracket bearing cups..
B - I think I know what it is, just don't know the name. Either way, I needed one a year or so ago and couldn't find one so had to make my own lol.
It's a Cannondale Headshok tool.
RJ The Bike Guy is their a way to message you on UA-cam, I'll send you a picture of what I thought it was for and maybe you can tell me what the tool is called in case I need it in the future lol
B - Maybe to remove a cone in a freewheel.
Nope.
As vídeos como se utilizan cada herramienta porfa saludos
my cheater bar is an old seatpost haha
G looks like it could be a lower fork bushing installation tool
D bushing removal tool (can also be used to remove bearings if it fits)
H Fork bushing tool (www.treefortbikes.com/product/333222370826/665/RockShox-Fork-Bushing-Installation.html)
{looks like many of the tools are RochShox service tools}
Mostly Cannondale suspension tools.
Go on google and look up the model number it should tell u what they are
I only recognize one tool !
I is a bearing/headset press.
The 'unusual' threads are called Acme threads. They're the same style one finds on a bench vise lead screw.
Wow, this video is a 1st - RJ is completely lost (as am I).
it looks like a bunch of mess that you'll never use..i hope that helps..:D
j is just a seatpost and than you can folt your sadel
G is fork bushing installer
Please point me to example. Thanks.
J is not a tool it's a suspension linkage I have two of those in my bike dungeon
H is the same for bushings, contact me for details
I had that "RockShox Fork Bushing Installation Tool, 28/30mm". I have a list in the description.
J Sure its a tool? It looks like about half of one of those parallelogram seatpost shock systems, missing the top half.
I That thread is called acme thread or square thread and its much stronger than normal which is why its prefered for tools.
O Camptown doodads sing this song, doodad doodad, O doodad day!
My ending impression is whoever you got them from is getting more into building bikes and when the empty BB shell came along it was like....YUP.
f is a diy homemade hydraulic brake bleed kit, the tube goes onto the bleed valve on the caliper.
Wow !!! I'm lost,,, sorry but I'm no help today
Looks like the pile of scrap on my welding shop floor, good like finding out.🚵🏻😆
old suspension fork tools
I was looking for more specific identification. Most of the tools have been identified in the description.
J - I don't think that's a tool at all. It looks like a part of a parallelogram-style suspension fork, similar to this one: www.ebay.com.au/itm/POG-German-A-Kilo-Parallelogram-Suspension-fork-20-Collapsible-tire-Folding-/311752352934
I dunno.
C- Like a part for wheel dish-ing tool ???? ,E- a suspension pump ??????,K- frame aligment tool ????? other tools , no idea , :) ?????
One Day you will know what they all do, then you are a better Mechanic.
