Hi, just wondering if anybody knows about allen keys that have a slot in them.
I have got to retape my tt bars and need to remove the brakes which are internal so the cable runs through the centre of the allen key holewhich holds the body into the bars, are there slotted allen keys that the cable can sit into as i unscrew and then rescrew the body
or
am i going to have to completely uncable and then recable my brakes?

I believe if you consider what would happen to the slot as you turn the hex key you'll reconsider your requirements...- - - - - - - - - -

well yeah i had thought about the fact that this would reduce the amount of pressure they could take and would twist etc, just wondered if anyone had engineered a type that doesnt.
Guess i will be recabling again then lolMy Rides:

What I meant was, the slot will turn with the allen key, so the cable will get wound around the tool as you turn it.- - - - - - - - - -

Aah yeah, unless the slot ran all the way through so the cable didn't also turn? am guessing that no one makes them thoughMy Rides:

No I don't sorry,
It's basically a hexagonal Allen key with a slot all the way through one of the edges for the cable to sit in as
You turn, it's only cause the brakes are internally routed
I don't think the product I am looking for exists, will be simpler to just recable.My Rides:
