Skyway bolted hub nyloc nut size queries.

[SDF]

Good morning,

Two sets of my black tuffs have bolted on rear alloy hubs. I'm doing a little refurbishment on them, but struggling a bit with the nut size. Purchased three packs of nylon nuts now and they are not connecting with the thread smoothly hence they the all the wrong thread size.  Anybody on here know the correct thread size?

Many thanks,

Steve.

Is it a Skyway kit? like, one of those kits they made to repair the wheels?

If it is? it is probably UNC or UNF. Imperial, basically. You might be better off buying new bolts (M5? M6?) and yeah going that route.

Many thanks, I'll get a selection on order. 👍👍 both sets have the hub bolts on the rear,  apparently skyway  sent the kits to the Uk, and Halfords used them on to repair hubs on the Super  Tuff and Tuff burner?.

Yeah then it will be some jeffed up sort of UNC.

Even if you did ID them you?d pay too much. Also, I would bet modern tensile bolts are much better and much stronger tbh.

Modern nyloc nuts are much better too

Problem with the sceptic tanks is like us they have different TPI or threads per inch. You have UNC (coarse) and UNF (fine) and we have 1.25, 1.5 and I'm rare cases 1mm.

The bolt situation is real, and they always use the hardest to find so you go to them and never make the info public either.

Which is why I am now a walking bolt detector.

It's even worse when they stop making spares and just bugger off, leaving you with something that cost a fortune.

My pal, god bless him, bought me a kit designed for finding the correct threads. So I'll be using those I'm sure of it.
