I believe the wrench used for old Nuovo Record 2-bolt seat post will work. Otherwise Sears sells a very nice set of small Craftsman wrenches 2 to 14 mm I believe, very handy to have. Rich

I have a Park, which I assume is still available, that has 13 & 10 mm off set. For years I carried it with me all the time to adjust my campy single pivot brakes.
