What is a bicycle spoke wrench?
One of the most practical and commonly used bike wheel tools, a spoke wrench (also known as a bicycle spoke key or nipple wrench) adjusts spokes to keep the wheel ‘true’ and moving in a straight line.
Every spoke sits in a spoke nipple, keeping it securely attached to the wheel. By turning the nipple with a bike spoke key, you can loosen or tighten the spoke’s tension.
What size spoke wrench do I need?
As you can see from our range, various spoke key sizes are available. If you’re unsure what spoke wrench tool you need, aim for a three-way spoke nipple wrench that fits the most common sizes - 3.23mm, 3.30mm and 3.45mm.
If your spoke nipples have a hex or star shape; you will require a specific spoke wrench tool. Touch base with our friendly customer service team below; we’ll gladly assist with more specific information.
