skinny nut drivers alternative to Park tools SW-15

[brucelee]

Hi, I've got an aksium that need fettling but none of my sockets will fit in the rim holes. I'm aware of the above tool but figure I could probably get a set of small nut drivers for the same sort of money which I could do with for other stuff. Anyone know of any that would fit in the hole ? I need smaller ones for modelling stuff. Is the nut on the aksium 5 or 5.5mm?
Cheers,
Bruce.

"Thin wall socket (set)"...?
I had a quick look and didn't find the dimension you are looking for, ie outside diameter, listed.
You may need a proper tool shop where you can see and feel the stock.
Could probably get away with grinding one down a bit to use at low torque?

Tubular box spanners often do the trick where a thin wall is needed.
This sort of thing - you can buy them individually as well:

Borrow one from your local bike shop when you're next buying something.

That's what I'd have done. : - )

Could you add the nut size of the nipple once you've discovered it, please.

5.5mm. I broke a corroded spoke whilst trying to true and it just got a whole lot more expensive and time consuming....

Thanks. That's 5.5mm square?
