hi there-
any idea what size- or more importantly what size spanner i'm gonna need to use on the steering head bearing adjuster and lock nuts under the top yoke?
(95 model)

triumph do a special tool- slim spanner but its a bit pricey so i'll have ago at making one or trying my local biycle shop.

A great big one hang on I'll go see
.......

ok back!

My biggest spanner is 30mm and not big enuff.

My advice use a big adjustable! :wink:

ha ha,
i can get a bigger adjustable, but worried its gonna be too big to fit. they're slim ol' nuts.
d@?n it- it was so much eaiser with my other bikes- just a smooth ring with notches cut in so you could drift it round!

I cannot remember exactly, I think they are either 32 or 36mm....

I'll try to get out to take a look sometime this weekend and let you know.

johnnycactus, It's a 36mm, if the same as an '04.

cheers for the info guys
picked up a slim open ended spanner from a local mountain bike shop for £5
had 36mm stamped on it, reckon i had to grind out about 2mm to make it fit.
sorted!!!
