    Hello,

    I'm new to the Triumph forum with a brief intro. Bought a 2021 Striple 765 RS this year after 20 years riding Ducati Monsters. Love everything about the Striple and wish I had made the transition years ago. Love the Monster sound and mystique but the ride and power do not compare to the Striple.

    Looks like I'm going to finish the season with more track miles than street miles and the V3 Pirellis that came on the bike are toast...front and rear. But what an amazing tire!

    That being said I'm looking to replace the front for one more end of season track sash and wondering what size axle nut the front wheel is so I can buy the correct socket. Have seen 17mm for on '11 Speed Triple but not sure about fitment for my Striple. Any input?

    Hi there lynn. I think it’s probably quicker to just measure it yourself?
    Just grab a ruler and let rip!?
