2025 Tools

For 2025, we've greatly improved the tools and procedures for using them!

Tools for AXS Missing Links

When you order the "tools included" option, you will get the tools shown here. Do not order the "no tools" option unless you already have these, because it will not be possible to rebuild the derailleur without them.

  • AXS spring clamp tool
  • M4 press tool
  • Small spacer press tool
  • Large spacer press tool

Snap Ring Tools

The snap ring tool is sold separately. There are only 2 options that we recommend. One is the Madrone Snap Ring Tool (designed specifically for SRAM derailleurs) and the other is the Knipex 49 31 A0. Before you purchase one, we recommend to learn more about snap ring tools here.
