Wanted: 7mm or 9mm Allen key to borrow.

Posted on
  • I brought an old bertin frame yesterday with a lovely lugged stem that seems to need odd size Allen keys.

    There are two holes in the stem bolt, I've tried a 6mm in the smaller one and an 8 in the largest and neither seem to fit properly so I reckon 7mm or 9mm will do the trick.

    If anyone's got one I could borrow for a little bit that would be rad.
    Preferably SE.

    Cheers.

  • Not likely to be 7 and 9mm Allen keys - they're rare to say the least.

    Try getting hold of an imperial set - shouldn't cost much. Maybe 1/4 or 9/32 for the smaller one, something like 11/32 for the bigger one.

    ( I'm SE if you want to borrow, but to be honest, for the cost it's worth having your own if you're keeping this stem.)

  • Cheers jsabine, dropped by the hardware shop in camberwell last night and they have a big set of imperial and metric Allen keys that includes a 7mm for £6.

    Like you said its worth buying the set so I can keep the stem so ill pop back today and buy one.

    Cheers.
