You sure it's 11mm? Might be imperial if from USA.
If it doesn't fit, return it...?Kdoc104 wrote: ↑ Also, I would be cautious spending $20 on one key from Amazon and it ends up not fitting. I looked on Grainger which is much cheaper but they could be weeks away from delivery. I also called some auto stores to see if they had any to sell, etc. but they don't sell tools, only parts.
The part I posted from Amazon is 1 day shipping to me and fully returnable.Kdoc104 wrote: ↑ I was thinking of the bolt head technique. I will give it a try. I did use a steel chisel that was able to slot in and then turn with a wrench, but did not work.
I have tried a few bike stores and most have said that department store bikes sometimes come with unusual sized fittings for whatever reason. The standard for a hub is 10mm. I was recommended to buy a new wheel altogether which I don't wanna do.
I have checked on Amazon and other online stores and I could have to wait a week at least for delivery or pick up. Some even more than that. I'm surprised hardware stores don't have bigger sets.
I'm guessing it is 11ml. I tried the SAP equivalent of 10mm also, and it is still too small.
No. I have a cassette which I have taken off with a cassette remover. The hub is a freehub which requires an Allen key.dvnt1 wrote: ↑ Will this work for you? https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5048-469/ ... el-Remover

That’s for removing a cassette from a freehub. OP has already done that, he wants to remove the freehub from the hub.dvnt1 wrote: ↑ Will this work for you? https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5048-469/ ... el-Remover

Yes I've tried that with a couple of places. They didn't have the size. I may check further afield. They recommend to buy a new wheel.

You can also get a micrometer from Amazon or CT for about $10, then you can accurately measure the size. Or just try a 11mm hex bolt.
Have you tried a 7/16in allen key? It's close to 11mm.
Wow that is surprising. What brand of hub and freehub do you have?
This is interesting. Nice findKiraly wrote: ↑ Looks like a SRAM freehub body, some of which need an 11mm hex wrench. Two people here say that they were able to re/re it with a 3/8" square socket extension, but proceed with caution! https://www.amazon.com/Sram-Freehub-Bod ... B0063HLBE8
They are only a few bucks in Canadian Tire. Going to buy one now and will report back after.There is currently 1 user viewing this thread. (0 members and 1 guest)
