Title: What Size Spoke Spanner?
Post by: Andrew on May 01, 2011, 07:21:34 PM

In time honoured tradition I have had spokes come loose and even fall off.

Anyone know what gauge tool I need for GM spokes? and is there any design tool better than others?

Andrew :)

The nipples on my early Magic Pie are 13 gauge, but I'm not sure whether the later ones are smaller.

I used one of these universal ones that came with a cheap and cheerful tool kit:
