Cone wrenches - quick question
Sheldon says that "most front hubs require 13 mm cone wrenches, most rears take 15 mm. For most cyclists, the best choice is to buy double-ended cone wrenches with a 13 mm end and a 15 mm end."
Is this still true today?
If I buy the 13/15mm version of this, is it likely to fit all of my hubs?

When I say "all of my hubs" I mean the following:
Front - no-mark that came with bike (Specialized Tricross Sport).
Rear 1 - Ultegra
Rear 2 - 105
Rear 3 - no-mark that came with bike, as above.

What about a set like these that deal with all sizes from 13-16mm, perhaps?

These look like the same idea but slightly better, although they're out of stock:

Anyone?
Sorry to pester but I was hoping to order some today.
Or is it not as straightforward as Sheldon makes out?0 -
Get the set, 13- 16. Cone nut sizes are always changing and you may need the extra sizes in the future. I've even come across some 17 and 18 sized nuts on some axles. Namely, my very attractive neighbor whom I recently became a hero for fixing her loose nuts.0

You're just asking to be mis-quoted there.

Ha! O.K. then, the neighbor no longer has any loose balls in her bearing orifice.0
