- The FR-7, however, is made slightly larger to fit the slightly larger splined pattern of the Falcon

Removes what it needs to remove!, July 28, 2011
By The Bran Man

This freewheel remover is for falcon freewheels, typically found on lower end bicycles. This is the only remover that will perfectly fit the splines of a falcon freewheel. I personally purchased this so I could replace my 7-speed falcon freewheel with a shiny new shimano freewheel.

Excellent quality, fits my Falcon freewheel perfectly, June 18, 2011
By Calvin Tong

I needed to remove my freewheel so that I could overhaul the bearings inside the rear wheel hub. When I took the wheel off, I saw that it said "Falcon" on it. My cheap bike tool kit included a generic freewheel remover but it kept slipping inside the freewheel. I read more about the Falcon freewheel on Park Tool's website and found out about the difference between the FR-1 and the FR-7. This FR-7 fit perfectly. I was able to put a 12" adjustable wrench on it and break loose the freewheel without a problem. After repeated use, the splines show no wear.
My only recommendation is that if the bolt head was a little bit wider, you could put a bigger wrench on it. However, I had no problems with a 12" adjustable wrench on it, so it's not a big deal.
Excellent quality. I hope Park Tools continues to make all their tools in the USA.

It works., February 28, 2011

This tool fits Falcon freewheels which have a slightly larger splined hole than similar Shimano freewheels. If you have a modern bike with five cogs on the rear it's probably Falcon.
The hole on the bottom is large enough that this tool can slide over an axle, but I had to remove the lock nut before the FR-7 would slide all the way on. It requires a 25mm wrench to turn: Be aware that the freewheel has been screwed on by pedaling and will require a LOT of force to unscrew. A long wrench will make this a lot easier. While the walls of this tool look thin it doesn't show the slightest bit of wear after the considerable torque place on it.

Park Tool FR-7 works like a charm!, March 1, 2009
By V. Paul (Tyler, TX USA)

When a Falcon freewheel broke on my wife's bike, I was forced to learn how it works. I quickly found that it was impossible for me to repair. An inset splined nut held the freewheel on, and no amount of fiddling around would remove it. A call to an expert over at Bike Nashbar informed me that the Park Tool FR-7 was the ONLY way to get it off. I ordered. I waited. It arrived. Within a few seconds, I had that freewheel off. The remover also worked for putting on the replacement, which was a no-name Chinese imitation of the original. If you have a Falcon freewheel, GET THIS. The FR-1 (much easier to find) will not work. You'll be glad you added this to your bike repair toolbox. I am.

For the Falcon Freewheels, October 22, 2009
By Hooty Hoot (Amish Country)

This is almost the same as the FR1 but slightly different in size, it fits a Falcon as I put it onto one but it was outside a friends house all rusty & was not going to break a good tool just to see how it was made inside ... the boy in me!

This works great to remove all Falcon AND Shimano freewheels, April 28, 2012
By Jackal (Charlotte, NC)

Pretty basic tool that does what it needs to do - I have the generic mongoose dual suspension walmart-type bike which comes with a falcon freewheel. After some research, I learned that the shimano freewheel remover would not work with falcon freewheels, so I purchased this one. To my surprise, it also worked to remove my wife's shimano freewheel-go figure. I did have to lightly tap the tool in order to engage with the shimano freewheel, but it worked.

it also works on shimano MF ZO12, April 9, 2012

I used this to remove a falcon freewheel and was going to order the TL-FW30 to remove a shimano mf z012 freewheel but tried it on the shimano and it removed it with no problem and note the shimano freewheel was on the wheel for over 13years and it came off easier than the falcon I was so happy I did not need another tool to remove the shimano.
