April 3, 20179 yr Got a couple of spokes that need tweaking a bit. Got a 3way key from Halfords. Doesn't fit. Biggest one is 3.5. Seems that I need something closer to 4mm. Several on eBay but are sized 10 to 15 gauge. Would one of those do the job?
April 3, 20179 yr You most likely need 13g, which is bigger than standard bicycles. the best keys are like this because they grip on 4 sides and don't slip: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quality-Topeak-Duo-Bike-Cycle-Spoke-Key-Wrench-2-Sizes-/111936470576?var=&hash=item1a0feefe30:m:mJ-Rt-5k1Muz5BNZA6z0rvg these ones have all sizes, but they sometimes don't fit well, and they slip when your spokes are tight. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spoke-Rim-Wrench-Nipple-Key-Adjuster-For-Bike-Bicycle-Repair-Fix-Tool-/262477694786?hash=item3d1ce3c742:g:-k0AAOSwepJXWkH7
