i have a planet x 82 of a friends at mines for repair just now.
other than PX(at 19.99 EACH and i need 2 - a hex and a square) does anyone know anyone that does wrenches that fit . the park tri spoke wrench i have (with big hex little hex and square on it) isnt long enough..... although its one step away from me modifying it with a grinder and the welder....
I think I've got a long-reach hex key - it came with a set of new wheels for MrsB. Can't help with the square one though.
Park Tool SW-16 for square interfaces and SW-18 for the 5.5 mm Hex fittings - £10.99 each.
cheers hatter
it was the sw16 sw17 i needed - the 5mm hex
ordered now at crc 8.99 and 9.99 😀
Should get him rolling again with working brakes !
According to PX's site their wheels use a 5.5 mm hex, so you'll need SW-18.
Have no experience of their wheels couldn't verify this so if you have 5 mil versions the SW-17 will sort you out.
yeah i saw that too - too much conflicting info on their site.
i saw the 82 set had squares - my wheels.
the 82/101 had 5mm - my mates wheel set
the clinchers had 5.5mm
if i have the wrong un ill just send em back and exchange.
Cheers though.
no way are planet X tubulars a 5.5mm hex - the 5.5 mm hex doesnt fit through the hole 😀
the issue i have i find is that 2 of the spoke nipples have been replaced with standard nipples - and the threads have stripped as they are the wrong thread for the spoke - confirmed by 2 nipples falling out when the tubular was removed - and 2 spokes being minus their nipples....
need to order some new nipples/washers and probably strip and rebuild the wheel to sort it out for good.
