Hey guys - in the US are Allen Keys for bikes in metric or imperial sizes? A friend of mine has a beach bike (from the US) and wants new allen keys for it.

I don't want to say my word is fact, but on every bike I've touched it's been metric, and usually a 4-5-6 or 8 mm. I would be stunned if it was English.

Thanks! My bike tool is from the US and has metric allen keys, but I see that allen keys do come in imperial sizes as well so I was wondering.

Unless it's specifically an Italian, French, or English/British made bike, it will be metric.

Thanks also Heinz!
Will this also apply to other nuts and bolts? (Its doesn't have quick-release)
