if the bolt required an imperial allen key, why don't you swap the bolt for a normal one? happen to me before, just swap the bolt from another cinelli stem.

Cheers people, i can't just swap the bolt because i fitted the stem to my bike, used the slighlty wrong sized allen key, it then rounded off the bolt a little and now i can't get it out!
I'l see what i can do today, and otherwise i will definetly take one of you up on your offer, i could'nt believe that evans, bikefix and condor all didn't have any! -

Try a normal hardware store. I don't know of anything that's been Imperial on bikes for years.

... but are you sure, that you need imperial ones? a standard 7mm should do the job: http://www.velobase.com/ViewSingleComponent.aspx?ID=3c3f47e5-d410-4170-9380-c60bd8d75db1

Try Wilkinsons. My local store have a set for 99p. They do both metric and imperial.
Good old individual keys on a keyring. None of this cheapo fold-out-multitool you can get from poundland.
Obviously you can get good multitools, just not for £1. -

Condor sell this and have one in the lend box :-)
Hi,
I have an old cinelli stem, i tryed my allen keys but could'nt find one to fit the bolt, so i went to condor and they did'nt have any keys whiched fitted. Then went to bikefix and they said i needed some imperial allen keys, i tryed my local hardware store and they did'nt havee any either.
So do any of you have any i could borrow?
Thanks
