Author Topic: Skyway axle bolts (Read 915 times)

My TA is nearing completion, but unfortunately the axle bolts on my alloy hubbed tuffs are old and (very) mucky.

Any tips on cleaning them? Or good source for replacing them?

They are a funny size I believe, but never got to the bottom of it.

Anyone got 4 spare?

All same size by the looks of things.

They look better in the flesh that in the pic after cleaning, but a new pair wouldnt go a miss, how much you after?

I found a company recently that sells them!

I'll try to find the site and post it.

I have a new set of tuffs and although the axles have a different tpi from one another (front 26 rear 24) the nuts are the same on both

the rear ones are a little loose!

Got to love Skyways attention to detain
