Anybody know offhand what size nut secures a Bonnie's axle? Bigger than any metric wrench/socket I have (21mm is my biggest except for a few one-offs like 30mm), so I better invest in a new one for chain adjustments. Thanks - Brian

24mm. Or just use a 10" Crescent wrench... like I do.

24mm is the size you need Brian.

Thanks folks. A new 24mm wrench (and maybe a socket, in case I'm ambitious enough to remove the muffler to actually retorque to spec) is in my future....Brian

The U.S. fractional equivelent is 15/16". A 24mm is .945", a 15/16" is .9375 only about .0075" difference. That's only a thick hair, close enough.

So that would mean something thicker than a standard whisker I guess!

If you get a socket, you might as well get a six-point socket (mine is a Craftsman impact socket). That nut gets dinged on the corners from 12-point tools.
