Default HELP...HELP...front pinch bolts on my Deuce

I am in the process of changing my wheels, got the back on with no problem.

Started on the front and cant find anything to fit the pinch bolts, is it an allen wrench or torx head?? What size?? When i first looked at it i thought it was an allen head, so i tried all the sizes i had, nothing seemed to fit, so i tried all the torx i had, again nothing seemed to fit.

Anyone with a suggestion???

I got it done. Had a biatch of a time getting the bolts out. If anyone cares the pinch bolts are allen head, 5mm metric, why metric, i dont know. Everything else on the bike is either torx or american thread.

To get them out i inserted the allen wrench, put some turning pressure on it and hit the allen wrench with a hammer.

Wheels are on and they look great, will post pics as soon as i can
