Ttrek 3 3500 series

[Smoothrun]

Hi all,

Im new to Mtb and this Forum, I just bought an old trek 3, 3500 series o play with. First things first I need to do a service and am short a cassette removal tool. I know its a sram but there seems to be so many choose from. I bought this bike to get my hands dirty before I step up to a better bike and or model and not sure of which tool and or tools I may need further down the track. I realy dont want to spend a great deal of money but any insight or feedbak will be appreciated. If you need more info im not sure other tthan the serial number.

Cheers Dave

All the tools you will need are a Park Tool FR5.2, a suitable 7-11 speed universal chain whip and a shifter.

Thanks Kronos, greatly apreciated. It seems the mtb and others ttols are an expensive price to pay all depending on what you want to do yourself. I bought the tools today and got it all off. The freewheel hub seems to be another tool i dont have as theres no freeplay. Oh well ill get there. All part of the fun.

Thanks again.

This will probably help. You'll want to look at the Shimano (SRAM) type of freehub.
