Yeah, 15 mm seems to be the norm, though I've seen a few that were 14 mm.

not sure - but the 15mm PB wrench is too big, so I use a 9/16 without fail.

9/16" = 14.2mm They are often interchangeable depending on tolerance 7/16" =11.1mm and 3/4" = 19mm For those times when you need one but have the other.
