Post by: tigers_gonads on 04 August 2012, 12:00:02

Its for the wheels that fit a pfl cd model

Black plastic "T" shape with 3 round studs on the end

Wheels are 15 inch soft 6 spoke (if that bit makes any sence)  :-[

Lost one and the spare is sat in the tin tent at skegness  ::) :-[

I think there are lots of different ones afaik. They would have no security function if all the keys were the same. :-\

If you get stuck Ive probably got one kicking around somewhere that you can have TG, just a question of where.

Last time I lost my key, you can release them with a good hammer and screwdriver whack, then start to unscrew with some cutters or longnose until finger tight free, seem to remember replacing mine with Torx Bolts.
