What sized cone spanner for Maxle hub

Yacoby

The front wheel of my bike is (I assume) cup and cone. (The rear one is). It is rebranded to the manufacturer so I have no idea what it actually is. It is on a 2012 Rockshox Recon so I assume that means 15mm Maxle.

Need to service it but I have found that a 16mm cone spanner isn't big enough. Any guesses on what I would need?

Maxle is simply the slide through axle. The hub could be anything. 13/15/17mm are the most common cup/cone sizes.

Pics of what you have but I am guessing 17mm plus.

Ug. So there isn't a standard

The outer nut seems to be about 23mm, although that isn't a big issue as I can get an adjustable spanner around that. The inner one seems to be very slightly smaller.

I may just take it to a bike shop. Or just buy varying sizes of cone spanners from CRC and send back the ones that don't work.

Any writing on the hub such as brand and model?

It is from this and as far as I can see it is just a Whyte branded hub. Nothing that indicates more than that.

Finally been sensible and taken some card to it and and it seems like it is around 23mm or something.
