Vintage two-wheeler enthusiasts, especially Motobécane owners, are well aware of the challenge of repairing and maintaining Motobécane variators.
Headaches, unsuitable pliers, frustration, and often broken parts... yes, we know that at the workshop too!
However, a solution is emerging to simplify this tedious process.
For a long time, the workshop sought a lasting solution to this problem. Of course, vintage tools are unobtainable or worn out, and their manufacturers have long since disappeared or no longer make this type of equipment.
And then, as you know, when Yamaha took control of MBK back in the day, not everything stopped overnight. Hundreds of Motobécanes still crisscrossed our roads daily, and it was essential for dealerships to continue maintaining them and therefore to procure the necessary equipment!
After a lot of research and testing, the workshop got its hands on the vintage pliers supplied by YAMAHA to its MBK and therefore Motobécane dealerships!
These circlip pliers, still manufactured today by the same company as back then (!!), prove to be exceptionally high-quality tools, transforming a laborious task into an enjoyable and efficient experience. Yes, you read that right! Disassembling a Motobec' variator becomes a pleasure!!!
The problem with commercial pliers:
Anyone who has ever tried to work on a Motobécane variator with commercial pliers knows how frustrating it can be.
Standard pliers can be ill-suited, fragile, and make the job much more complicated than it should be.
This is where the "original" pliers offered by Atelier de la Vigne come in, providing a professional and versatile solution.
The advantages of "original" circlip pliers:
Well, first of all... they are... original-compliant: These pliers are faithful replicas of the original tools distributed by Yamaha at the time.
