so I realized today that I dont have a spoke wrench that fits a Worksman wheel. Meaures about.196". I made a special trip to a LBS to get a SW3 to fit the Huffy Cranbrook wheels I just got. But I dont see a listing in Parktool.com for any larger tool. Any ideas?
 
I normally take the tire, tube, and rim strip off and use a flat tip screwdriver. That's how I trued my Schwinn's Heavy duty wheels. I suspect they should be about the same.
 
that aint happening!!LOL. I go back to work tomorrow, I'll have the machine shop make me one....charge it to another job.....piece of angle iron, and EDM a slot in it,slightly tapered from .210 down to .190. Thats easy, and it'll work! Then into the oven to harden....
