One of the best places to pick one up is on the tool stands you get at the variuos show around the country.

There`s no real need to spend a fortune on a brand name so long as its of reasonable kwolity!

I to would recomend that you get the face turned down so as to get a betteer fit against the wheel.

Excuse me for stateing the bleedin obvious but although torque wrenches are nice and long and therefore give good leverage, don't use them for loosening the nut off.

Unless you've got a decent one, that is.

The digital Snap-on is great for seeing how much over-torqued things are when undoing them!

Thats then termed breakaway torque, and has some pre - requisites you need to consider ! like ambient temp, any lubricant used on the threads etc

Pick my 46mm socket at one of the bike shows, with a reducer 3/4-1/2 for about £5-£7, not sure which. Also picked up the torque wrench.

Indeedy - and what a term to throw into a bike conversation at your local... although you will 'sort of' be in the right 'ballpark', breakaway torque can be a bit misleading if you want to know if something is overtorqued. Always check the temperature, humidity and greasiness of your nuts before knocking them off etc. etc.

I used to sell 46MM nuts with the faces turned down - I have one knocking around somewhere... not sure if a 1098 is the same size.
