Axle size
« on: September 01, 2006, 10:02 PM »
I have recently sold a wheel on eGay, without the nuts on the axle (the buyer knew this). Now he is whining that he cannot get nuts to fit. Are there any strange sizes on new school axles? I thought there was only one size (14mm). He has been told it is 12mm ????????
Thoughts please.
Cheers, Ad

The two normal sizes are 10mm and 14mm, Skyway used a different thread to pretty much everyone else.

I think it may be Haro. Can you still get the nuts?

Christ knows..... they have to be around somewhere....  Moore & Large are the distributors for Haro, before them it was Shiner.  Worth a call to them. Other than that, i'm really not sure what you could do - its not a common nut.... :(

There's a shop in Gravesend, Barnkets, that do nothing but screws/bolts/etc.  Old fashioned sort of place, used them myself on many an occasion, walk in holding up the thing that you want and the bloke goes out back and usually comes back with what you are looking for.

The trouble is the thread pitch - known in the nut and bolt industry as Bicycle Pitch  (not too surprisingly).  Find somewhere that carries this and you're good to go  :)
