When I say "in-line", I mean the current trend of putting the rear caliper inside the rear triangle, rather than on top of the seat stay tube. With Sram Guide on a Whyte hardtail, I can hardly get to the rear bolt with a conventional allen key. Any particular tool you use to get to it?
Good quality ball end hex key works for me.
Buy a spare standard L shape Allen key and cut the stumpy end shorter.

Good shout, I was thinking of doing this.
Right tool for the job always makes a task easier. Cutting it might be slightly tricky because they should be hardened, might need a tile blade on a junior hacksaw.

Just grind it down or use a cutting disc to cut it.
Don't let it get to hot though.
Is there enough room to get one of these in?

As Qwerty said use a ball ended Allen key. The Halfords Professional ones are good for the money.
