The hex nuts on the wheel axles of my bicycle are too big for a 5mm Allen key and too small for a 6mm one. What’s the name/size/something of one that would fit? I’ve been googling but to no avail. I know it exists because the shop I got it from had one (but they didn’t know what it was called either or where to buy one from).

Torx bit might work too. I often use those when I don't have a hex set at hand. Or try the 5mm key but shim it with a rubber glove. Or file down a 6mm one.
