Folks, thanks for sharing your opinions. To clarify, some of the LBSs did have 32mm wrench, but not for sale. They had 34, 36 and 40mm wrenches in stock.
The aluminum would be probably better for the life of the fork, as if at I over tighten, there is no chance of damaging the fork. I'm going to give it one try to find a good 32mm wrench and use aluminum. If that too changes the shape of the nut I'll just swap it to steel. -Ash On Sunday, 23 April 2017 23:35:46 UTC-7, Ash A wrote: > > No LSB in 15 mile radius had the 32mm wrench required to remove the > headset nut.
