Where to buy tools?

[PsychoHippy]

OK, I'm after a 22mm allen key (to take off the ZZR front wheel), but nowhere I know stocks anything bigger than a 19mm one.
So I think to myself 'I'll try the links bit on BCF', but there are no tool places on there!
So, does anyone know a good place to get bike type tools online? (in particular the aforementioned allen key).
If so post a link below and put it on the links page too

I had a lot of trouble finding one of these for my Ninjas.

In the end I found a couple of local hardware shops that would do them, abit at about £20 a time!

apparently the best bet is to try and find a 22mm car sumpbolt 'key' (usually on 1/2" socket fitting I think), try calling a few local car places, though I've got a a feeling Halfords didn't do them in the right sizes.

It is can be blagged by by finding a big nut and bolt, tightening the nut up then sticking it in so that a bit of the nut is in the axle and using a spanner. Obviously works a lot better if you have a reverse thread nut and bolt.

Hi

For decent quality or unusual tools there is a guy are most of the car and bike shows who has a good stock. Not cheap though. Cannot find his card at the moment, but he is bound to be at Ally Pally show.

All the best
