Trying to pack my bike for a weekend, need to take the pedals off, the multi tool doesnt have an allen key large enough for a Look/Keo pedal. Anyone know off the top of their head what size Allen/Hex key one needs to bolt one of these on/off ?
Many thanks in advance.

    8mm
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    You'll get them on with the allen key but are you sure you'll get them off again at the end of your trip?

    Might be worth packing a pedal wrench.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    Good advice...except that Keo's don't have flats on them for a spanner

    Mavic use a big 8mm allen key, like wot he said above : 8mm allows you to use a big long-armed one so you can get the torque.

    Didn't know that - I've only ever had Shimano pedals.

    Make sure you have a big allen key or something you can fit on the end then.
