Spoke keys

[Rod Tibbs]

Anxious to get my spokes all tensioned up and 'pinging' correctly I bought a "Triple Spoke Wrench" by the American company Parktool from Halfords. The packing says "universal" which suggests to me it should fit anything yet when I came to use it on my Mistral it just isn't quite big enough to fit.

There are three spanners on the tool marked 3.23mm, 3.30mm and 3.45mm. Has anyone met this problem and if so can they suggest what size spoke spanner I should be searching for.

I am taking the 'universal' tool back to Halfords to try and get my money back.

Synergie Mistral and Wisper 905 both use 13 guage spokes.

This tool will do it

Halfords sell that type of tool as well, may be easier if you need to take the other back anyway.

Thanks for that info. It will hold off and see if I can exchange it tomorrow.
