So in my neverending quest to tinker with my bike (and, since my front wheel is so out of whack) I've decided to give trueing my wheel myself a shot.  Now the question is... which friggin' size wrench do I need? The wheels I'm looking at working on are Shimano R500's.

How the heck do I know what the measurement of the nipple is?

Thanks Guys in advance!

If I'm not mistaken, you will need to get the Shimano-specific spoke wrench by Park Tools.  I have Shimano (RS-20's) wheels, too...and the normal sized spoke wrenches did not fit (all too small).  Certain wheel manufacturers require specific spoke wrenches...Shimano and Mavic, both do.

hey thanks! that's exactly what I was looking for.

I figured it would be something proprietary being that it was from shimano haha.
