Hi Folks,

I have DT Swiss 1500 road wheels and i want to get a spoke key for them so that when i get a broken spoke i can do a quick fix and get home without having to call a taxi like last time.

I have looked on the DT Swiss site but i can't find the sizing. Is there a way of finding out which tool i need?

Thanks for your help. \\

    They are standard nipples, get the spokey red or you can get the DT swiss one again red... the latter is a much better tool... I think I have built around 400 wheels with it and it's still going.

    I really like the Sapim 14g nipple tool. It is perfect for alloy nipples as it surround the nipples so rounding is nearly impossible.
