Front wheel removal tool?

[jimbogs1200]

Do I need to have a front wheel removal tool thingy?? I was thinking In case of a puncture when out somewhere, would the tyre guy have one already?
TIA...

Just buy one - you know you want one so just give in to the craving for more bling.

I don't really want one, there are other things I would like more... I just know if I get a puncture the bloke will say, I can't change that mate, I don't have the weird tool thingy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought one off E-Bay a couple of years ago for £2.50. It also fits my 1050 Speed Triple

Or if your really tight like me

get the correct size headed bolt (19mm)and a couple of nuts and get them tack welded together

Worth carrying one just in case

You mean you've been carrying the wrong sized tool around all these years?

I measured mine, it appears to be 22mm...
Is this number for a 19 or 22mm? (GT MOTO SPINDLE KEY SKU 265231-0)

Jolly good.

Now your only problem is how to support the front forks, when you take the wheel out.
