Axle Nut Size Please
« on: March 09, 2012, 01:18 PM »
Think I am correct in thinking that a standard hub (eg Suzue) takes a 3/8x24T nut ? Can someone just confirm before I purchase the wrong ones please.

I know the old Tuffs are 26T.

Thanks Nath

i think it was just the front tuff that was 24tpi, and most freecoasters. everything else is usually 26tpi.

3/8 is axel width so 10mm in this case.  Old school axels are 3/8 or 10mm

TPI does vary but Stu is spot on with his TPI info - thats how they came out of the shop. You'll only run into problems if they've been rebuilt then it can become a bit of a lottery  :shocked:
