    The Sundown manual calls for a 4.5mm spoke wrench on page 3-32. The problem is that I can't find any motorcycle shops that sell 4.5mm wrenches. I'm thinking about getting this for maintenance but wanted to see if anyone on this forum has any advice, suggestions, comments, etc. before I commit to a whole $7usd.

    BTW, we should start a tool thread like what ADVrider has.

    Thanks,
    Vlad

    Check the "bicycle" shops NOT motorcycle shops, there's a 4.4mm wrench for Shimano that fits (if don't fits , USE dremel it's 0.1mm difference ONLY).
