Craftsman 1 13/16" works just fine. I think Eric has it listed on the site
under tires and wheels. I just used it to do my first tire change and it
fits fine without any chance of stripping the nut. I did have to stand on
the end of my torque wrench in order to break it loose. Felt like a bit
more than 108 ft/lbs to me. It helped to have the bike on the side stand,
in gear, with my wife sitting on it holding the rear brake. Once I got it
loosened a bit, then I put it up on the center stand and continued the
removal.
