Title: 2021 MiniST2 - correct spoke wrench size?
Post by: JimInPT on April 29, 2022, 10:40:02 AM
UPDATE: I remeasured it with a micrometer instead of calipers for better reliability.  Looks like these are 3.95-4.00mm across the flats, which means the SW-3 (blue) tool should be the correct size and that's what I just ordered.  Will update again if it's not correct.


Can anybody please confirm the correct size spoke wrench needed for my MiniST?  I think I've measured 4.36mm across the flats but I'm not positive that's accurate (aging eyes). 

Planning to order a Park Tool u-wrench that fits properly and not sure if it's maybe SW-2 or SW-3.

  Hi Jim,    You can get the multi sized tool as I did from Amazon or Walmart for about $9.   I think the mini size is 11 if I recall correctly.

Thanks SV, I know; I have one of those, the round style, in my bike's toolkit.  I carry it there because it's small and can handle any size, so might be helpful for somebody else on the trail.

For tuneups at home, it's the right tool for the job whenever possible - the Park Tools are very well made and precisely sized, so I want the one size I need with a buy-once-this-lifetime purchase.  And they're only 10 bucks.
