Spoke wrench/key for internal Campy spoke nuts--where to find?
It's a 2004 Hyperon wheelset, carbon clinchers, with these internal 5mm spoke nuts. I already found the Park Tool three-way and single spoke wrenches that will work, but what I really want is something smaller that can fit in a seat bag for emergency re-tensioning if a spoke should break on the road during a long ride. The Campy documentation pictures one that looks like this thumbnail--I've tried all the sources I can think of, Google included, and can't find a source. Does anyone know where I can get one?

No, unfortunately I haven't. Although the item is shown in the Campy documentation for this wheelset, the part number isn't shown.
Edit--to clarify, they do list a tool that looks similar, but say that it's only for wheelsets up to 1998 [UT-HU070: Shamal, Vento and Zonda wheel truing tool]. So I am not sure the measurement would be the same. For wheels after 1999, they say that the 5mm nut driver is "commercially available", so they must not be making a Campy part like the one they pictured in the documentation.
Anyone know if the Shamal, Vento and Zonda spoke nuts are 5mm hex?

Right you are. I found that just now. So that UT-HU070 will not work. I guess they feel that since the 5mm socket wrench is commercially available in other forms, they didn't need to make that nifty little key-type wrench. Man, that would be so nice to have in a 5mm.

Knowing Zipp it probably is a proprietary size just to mess with everybody. Check the links below for the shop size expensive tools for the internal nipples.
I know I have a little consumer version, it came with reynolds wheels. EDIT: looks like they are 5.0mm, not 100% sure though. First link is to the Reynolds tool.

Thanks for the help and the links, guys. I was actually wondering if that Reynolds tool was 5mm, maybe I'll write them through their website and see if they'll tell me. For now, I got a Park SW-17 which will work, but won't be an easy fit in the seat bag...
