which spoke key for Mavic Aksiums?

ben-----

Hi,

In preparation for a problem that's more likely to happen with Mavic Aksiums - them needing truing - which spoke key should I get? I understand there's different versions depending on the year the Aksiums are. I'm not sure which year I've got. They're the ones which come with this bike: http://www.cannondale.com/gbr/2013/bike ... kset-28416

Thanks.

Get a vernier gauge? Or get one of those spoke keys with lots of different size slots on it?

Right, yup, OK thanks.

Just for the record, incase someone else comes across this thread, according to an email I got from chainreactioncycles.com the necessary key/wrench is:

For the Aksium? Are you sure? They have always had a square section nipple... pretty standard in fact.
This is the spoke key for their screw-on nipples

They are standard square section nipples. I have a Supersix too.

Right, I see, thanks for pointing that out; nearly went ahead and bought the tool I linked to.

There's different size standard spoke keys though, right? Which size, do you know? Thanks.

Standard is roughly 3.2 mm. This is a decent one
