The math is close, but I just don't have anything that big. Haven't needed one.

14 or 24?

Found out the front axle of my killer needs a 14mm hex socket or wrench in order to get it off. AND that there is nothing like that in the tool kit or it seams my entire toolbox.

I had a similar issue with the vStrom front wheel had large hex bolt. Princess Auto for the win. Luckily they had a 3 pack with the size I needed.

Just bought these this afternoon. Have the wheel off and spooned the new tire on in record time with minimal effort. Not sure why it went so well but as of yet we don't know for certain the tube holds air. I always let them sit overnight before remounting just in case.

Also the cool black anodized finish on my new rims now have a few small nicks. No worries I bought this to use not hang on the wall as art.

A few days ago I finally solved an oil leak that had plagued my 76 SuperSport since the latest rebuild a few years back. After too many embarrassing oil stains were left behind I found it was just a loose clamp on the hose from the PCV spigot.
