I don't think it's such a stupid name, it's a clue!!! Looks to me like an allen key would fit in there nicely, have you tried? I think some old, hollow freewheel bolts had a similar "12 hex".
I see where you are going, haven't had a vernier calliper for a while, good excuse to go buy one
I reckon it will too, but I'd not put much force on it using a single hex key!
fuck me another name for this thing! Looks promising though.
If they made it for a 12 point tool I'm going to use a 12 point tool.
Don't believe me then! Seriously I have put a 10mm allen key in a vice and used the wheel for leverage with massive effort to get one of the below bolts undone when trying to remove a freewheel before, the only tool was an allen key.
Try and work in 3 different states of Australia, gives me the shits big time.
I used to work with a Scottish bloke once, until he asked me to pick up his ding dong and hand it to him?
Goddamn you're coming up with some good posts. That's a perfect example of a 12 point hex commonly seen in cycling that takes great force with an Allen key. Have done it countless times (on both 10 and 14mm) and used great force without incident, but never thought about it in this context.
Well now you've said it with more conviction I'm a little more convinced but still cautious, I've never seen these types of bolt heads.
Also known as a nut fucker...
Conviction, yeah.. could call it that.
You evil bastard!
What does your local kona dealer say?
I know it's just shocking the amount of wear on my normal hex bolts in just 12 months.
