Shimano XT Hub Cones

Hello,
I have Shimano XT M756 hubs front and rear, like these;

I need to tighten the cones on them but I am unsure as to what size cone spanners I need for them.
Does anyone know?
Thanks,
Dan.

If they're like mine then they are different to anything you've seen before.
You'll also need a 5mm Allen key, and all adjustment is made from the disc side.Northwind wrote: It's like I covered it in superglue and rode it through ebay.0 -
I have to tighten my Shimano XT rear hub every ride as they come loose often on my bike.
I use an adjustable spanners to tighten the bolts, so I need to know what size it is too before I start rounding of the bolts.Dmr Sidekick & Gu-St

A single one? You need a couple of thin spanners to tighten the two cone things against each other when you're done, sounds like why they're coming loose?
I still think new XT hubs, especially rear are arse, but that's another rant :P0 -

not the 756... it just uses cone spanners."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
