Title: help! what size allen key for my profile cranks?
Post by: JT71 on May 01, 2009, 07:39 PM
so just tried to finish putting the General Lee together and I have no Allen key to fit em.

I'm a metric boy can someone tell me what the imperial allen key I need is?

For the chainring bolt or flush bolts for the crankarms? I'd think the crankarm bolts are 5/16 (near 8mm)

Sounds like 1/4 then, or possibly 7/32  :daumenhoch:
