Does anyone know what size allen key I need to undo the front axle nut on my bike, my biggest is 10mm so im guessing its around 14mm but want to make sure so I dont buy the wrong size, I dont have any bolts I can use to compare either.... cheers

You can use a long bolt with a 90 degree bend in it instead of an allen key too. Use the head of the bolt to go into the spindle and the shaft as a handle.

It was either 13mm or 14mm, you could measure it with a ruler.

EDIT: Or measure it up against the open end of a 13 and 14mm spanner.

Cheers stinkwheel, tryed measuring it but it had a sort of bevelled edge which made it hard to be certain, also my measuring skills suck Embarassed sorted it in the end though, turned out to be 12mm.
