And what the heck, it's more comfortable too. I probably already said this, but I run my GP 5000 S TRs at 58/61 PSI (front/back) on my Domane and I weigh in around 190-195 lbs. So, more like 220 lbs total, bike etc.



I agree, it's 6 mm and there is that extra resistance which makes it feel like a 6 mm doesn't fit. I generally just leave the supplied lever in the rear, and use a 6 mm hex wrench in the shop on the front.
Plus the removal side is in the left while every other TA bike I’ve used it’s on the right. All good and thanks for the 6mm info.
