Spoke Wrench for 86 Miyata Six Ten
OK I read all the good reviews on the internet for the spokey and bought the red 3,25 assuming the 14g spokes on my bike were dt or wheelsmith.Now it looks like the older Japanese bikes such as this one use the larger 3.45mm Asian spoke wrench.The larger black spokey I could exchange it for though is 3,40 so this appears still to small for the asian spokes.Should I just get a Park 3.45 or take it by a shop to insure a proper size or is the black spokey (I do really like the spokey compared to the cheap multis I have used previously)going to work.The 3,25 is suppose to be for the 3.23 size so I was hoping maybe the 3,4 fit the 3.45 size as there appears to be no 3.4 size just 3.23,3.3 then 3.45.

Why not save yourself the trouble now and in the future and have the typical Black/Green/Red set complete as most of us wheelbuilders do. They are the three most common.

I happen to use the yellow Spokey for most Japanese or MIT spokes. If they're DT, Wheelsmith or HP spokes I'll use either a green or black Park spoke wrench.
I have two Hozan multi wrenches and an adjustable Park wrench for the goofy ones... any ones damaged or that have stripped flats get the channel locks!
