First Look | The Goose Bikeparts Disc-Tool
What the hell is this? When a friend presented me the Goose Disc-Tool for the first time, I was quite confused and had no idea what it was for. But then he explained – read on to learn more!
Mounting new brake pads can be a hustle: Although you can remove the old brake pads without removing the wheels, you still need to remove them to push back the brake pistons – otherwise, the new pads won’t fit in.
The Disc-Tool by Goose Bikeparts wants to solve this problem. It enables you to push back the brake pistons while the wheels are still mounted. After placing the tool inside the brake saddle, all you have to do is to turn the Allen screw on the top of it. Now the two guide plates move outward and push the pistons back in the neutral position.
With the help of the optional bracket (as pictured), you can just push one single piston back too or check the correct fill level of the brake fluid.

Price
The Goose Disc-Tool is available in two versions (depending on your brakes) and costs 29,90 €. The optional bracket adds 3,95 €.
Our take
The Disc-Tool from Goose Bikeparts is a clean solution to push back the pistons of a brake without removing the wheels. Also, it makes sure you won’t damage the pads or even the pistons. Especially for those, who are changing brake pads a lot, it’s a good buy – bikeshops, racing teams or just frequent riders.
