So I carefully cover my bench with newspaper, take out the QR, and check what wrenches fit the cone and locknut. 14mm fits the cone. 13mm fits the locknut.
Only one problem. This is what I have for 13 and 14mm cone wrenches:
Oh, for the love of Mike!
EDIT: It's like having a dustpan on the other end of a broom!
Addendum: I ordered a 13/14 mm just like the above from Amazon, to arrive tomorrow. I thought maybe I'd buy a 13/15, but I couldn't gt that tomorrow. So I went with the 13/14. Then I checked the rear wheel, and the cone and locknut there are BOTH 14mm. So I guess it's good I got the13/14.
