A couple of small easy questions
« on: July 23, 2007, 04:59:30 PM »
Hey,

I have two questions.

1.)  What size of allen bit/wrench do i need to take my front wheel off (single disc model), i need to go buy one tomorrow.

2.)  Whilst i have my forks apart i hear i should measure my fork springs to see if they are within spec.  But what size should they be within to be within spec?

Thanks guys!

I know the answer to #1 since I had to find something! You'll need a 12mm Allen key for the front wheel. A little hard to find, as everywhere has up tp 10mm. So be prepared!
