Adjustable Spanner.
I have just bought an old Triumph road bike 79/80 ish and I need to undo the top lock nut on the steering I have a 32 mm spanner and it's too small and a 32 mm spanner and its too big.
Queston. I have seen some adjustable spanners that open to 36/38 mm so plenty big enough but they are the pipe fitting type will these be strong enough the the big nut on the forks.

Depends on how good the locking mechanism is. Alternatively, find a coin that bridges the gap and stick that in between the spanner and the nut.0

Do you need a headstock socket as well? depending on the model. from memory theyre 38 mm accross the slots or 34mm
But getting back to the question buy a decent adjustable. It will need to be quite thin too. unless you buy the right tools either way its £20 -£30 notes.
the plumbers tools work but you stand the very real risk of marring everything up0 -
He has another thread on the same thing. Needs a set of spanners from CRC or similar for a few £s

It's amazing how much cheaper the equivalent tools are for motorbikes than bicycles isnt it.0 -
