some axles have different size threads, ie Skyway were different to Profile ect
some are 24 tpi (thread per inch) and others are 26TPI they can also be different diameters 3/8" or 10mm typically, you need to take your wheels to a bike shop and try a few different ones  :daumenhoch:

 :) DINGO :)

That might be true in the industrial world, but bicycle threads are a complete different kettle of fish, I doubt they would be able to help, Try a bike shop I hear Fox cycles in colne are pretty good.
