Shez.sheridan Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Okay, I need to replace a snapped spoke - no problem, only its on the disc side of my front wheel.I can't remove the disc as I don't have a star shaped Allen Key, so, is this something every bike shop carries - or a gimmick so that I have to dole out for a specific key - as if I have to order it, there's no point sending it here. I can collect it in a few weeks when I'm next back?Cheers TF pe-opleDerv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrashZen Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 torque wrench - local bike shop should have one.If not the bike shop, torx key from any DIY tool shop, for cheaper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Halfords will have one you can fit onto a cheapo screwdriver for a few quid. That's where I got mine from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Stop Junkie Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 torque wrench - local bike shop should have one.A local bike shop may have a torque wrench, but maybe not a torx key. Torque wrench tells you how tight you've tightened something.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmt_oli Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 You will need a torx driver in either T20 or T25 size, cant remember which one magura uses, but there the only two ive come accross with disk sizes.You can get them in allen key form, screwdriver form, or attachments for ratchets. Its worth getting one to fit, rather than just borrowing one, as youl have it for future use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I rounded off a few of my star nut's when i had my magura julie, im sure is t-25 size, i changed them to allen key bolts, which was so much easier, as i have loads of allen key tools, and like only one set of torx.

nmt_oli Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 how the hell do you round off a torx bolt! there desinged to stop that lol! they must have been some really bad quality bolts. I prefer torx bolts on disk rotors, i know i can tighten them up a lot without risk of rounding out the head, and also knowin il be able to get it undone again!
