Looking at getting a spoke key for my hope hoops wheels.
Any Idea what size nipples they use?
Which size do I need.
Not exactly sure what size it is, but I use the black Park Tool spoke key, and it works perfectly. I'd previously used a multi-size Park Tool key, which was a PITA when wheel building! The black Park one is fine, but I've also heard that the Spokey ones are nicer.
Anyone here used both, care to comment?
Yup, red Spokey Pro here, very nice to use.
ive just built a couple of wheels with the multi size park tool. when the spokes get tight it gets a bit harder on the fingers, but apart from that it was pretty good.
Red spokey pro - the best acording to wheelwright. Just replaced mine after 10 yrs.
I use park tool cable cutters they grip fine & rarely get blunt
Spokey Pro for me (professional mechanic)
