Lock Nuts

Post by BilboBaggins »

OK, I have a silly question.

I purchased 3 Racing lock nuts for my Xmods (purple and Blue).

I need to know what size nut driver do I need to put them on? I have 4mm and 5mm nut drivers (the Stock Xmod one is 5mm I think.) but I think the 5 doesn't tighten the nuts.

You need a 4mm. I've got this one. It works ok, but something smaller would be better.

The 4mm one I have seems too small for the nuts to fit in. I guess I'll have to check again.

Sorry, I didn't explain that correctly. "Smaller" as in the outside diameter of the tool is too big. It doesn't fit inside the Gandini wheels that I have. It works fine with all my other wheels though.
