so my Dolmite 6 has through axles front and rear. Problem is there's no handles/levers on them. Just a hex opening but there's a nipple inside so my Allen key won't go in.
Do you think the previous owner removed handles so nobody would steal his wheels? I can't find any mole grips so stuck for removing wheels. Has anybody any experience with this?
I will add a picture later if people don't get what I mean.
Regards.

They sound like security allen bolts that need a key with a hole in

time for a trip to Halfords with the bike, you can then get the single one you need as opposed to a set where you only need one.(the single will be better quality than the ones in a set too)
Looking that way and time isn't in plenty right now. Would it be cheap-easy to put a handle on like on my MTB rear wheel?
