yup. two 13s, two 15s, and two 17s come in handy. Sometimes you can tweak final adjustments by tightening the outside locknuts a 1/32nd of a turn, trusting that locked down cones will move with the locknuts as a unit. same goes for loosening with a wrench on each cone. saves time loosening and relocking for final adjustment.

the 17s can be box wrenches
