15mm SLX front hub is losening off, lockring obviously not tightened in the factory. What cone spanner(s) do I need, is it the same model as the 20mm version?

one in a million - I thought they did them up with a scaffold pole!

I know, I guess this way is preferable in some respects, especially if I get to pick up a comedy oversized spanner.

They dont specify the 15mm hub on the shimano tech docs site, Id be surprised if the went for a different lock nut size. I have the big one for my 20mm XT.

Mine was loose too after a couple of months.

Could do with knowing what tool needed.

Can you not measure the nut? 20mm shimano hub uses 28mm cone spanner as far as I'm aware

So it seems it's this: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mobile/MobileModels.aspx?ModelID=29170 has anyone actually used one with a 15mm hub? Do they come as a pair or can you get an adjustable spanner on the disk side when you remove the centrelock locking?

Ok, that's not the right one. The sizes are 23 and 26mm for future reference
