Yeah I think I'll go to Lordco tomorrow for a giant hex.
Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.
2015 raceface cranks - sixc vs turbine
Come on RF…. 16mm hex wrench for the crank puller cap? Really? Who has one of those kicking around.
Shimano Saints and ZEE cranks require a special tool , 5/8 will work if they don,t have a 16mm there is only .004" difference in size between the two .

Yeah, but the Shimano tool costs what five bucks? Or a half inch easy out works as well
Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:
ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.

Thx… obviously didn't think of that option. BUT, why use 16mm in the first place? What problem does this solve over the old 10mm puller cap?
Bigger axle = bigger bolt. Plus the older small aluminium crank bolts were known to strip threads if you didn't use a steel bolt to install the crank, and then just use the alloy one to hold it in place. Bigger everything = good times.

wow you are a ass
Picked up a 16mm hex socket bit at Lordco. Ghetto doesn't fly in my workshop.

Wasn't intended as a permanent solution, but if you were in a pinch late night in the garage.

Yep. I appreciate that. If it saves a ride then its all good.
Just picked up a 30mm RF spindle, and was stoked to see a 16mm adapter tool in the bag!:clap:
