FAQs
Can I use the SS-15 on multi-speed bikes?
The SS-15 is designed specifically for single speed bikes. While the 15mm wrench may fit some pedals on multi-speed bikes, it will not be compatible with most modern quick-release axle systems or cassettes.
What is the total length of the tool?
The SS-15 measures 170mm (6.7 inches) in length.
Is the tire lever made of metal?
Yes, the tire lever is integrated into the forged steel body of the tool, providing high strength for difficult tire/rim combinations.
Does the tool come with a warranty?
Park Tool provides a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects for their tools.
Can the 15mm socket be used for bottom brackets?
No, this tool is intended for axle nuts and pedals only. Attempting to use it on bottom brackets may damage the tool or the bicycle components.
Troubleshooting
Wrench slipping on axle nuts
Ensure the 15mm socket is seated fully onto the nut before applying force; check the nut for rounded edges that may require replacement.
Tire lever feels difficult to use
Ensure the tire bead is pushed into the center channel of the rim to create slack before engaging the tire lever.
Surface rust appearing on the tool
Scrub the affected area with a fine-grade abrasive pad and apply a light coating of machine oil to protect the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The SS-15 is a straightforward manual tool requiring no setup or batteries. It is compatible with any bicycle component requiring a 15mm wrench, most notably single speed rear axle nuts and standard bicycle pedals. To ensure the longevity of the tool, wipe it clean with a dry, lint-free cloth after use to remove road grime, grease, and moisture. Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation. Although it is forged for strength, avoid using the tool with 'cheater bars' or excessive extension pipes, as this can exceed the design tolerances of the steel.
