    I am trying to replace the headset bearings on a Canyon CF 8.0. It is using an Acros Ai-70 headset. Does anybody know what tool to use to open the Grub(?) screw just below the headset spacers? It is not an allen key...
    Thanks.

    Assuming it's similar to the Ai-69 on the Aeroroad then you're probably looking for a torx T-6 driver (IIRC).

    These are pretty small and don't tend to be part of regular torx sets but they can often be found as part of repair kits for sunglasses and the like so could be worth popping into an optometrist/specsavers if the local hardware store cant help.

    They usually send you a tool for it with the frame.

    Thanks for the replies, The torx T-6 driver looks like it. Unfortunately I didn't get anything like this with the bike. I think they have changed to a 2 mm allen key since, I guess you generate a lot less force with the torx..
