Tuff nuts.
« on: March 04, 2009, 07:30 PM »
Just got my new tuffs delivered but while I've been waiting I've been looking for some gold dome nuts.

Can't see any anywhere.  Do any of you guys know where I could source some?

tuffs have slightly different threads to normal wheels-you may have a job finding coloured nuts to fit-amd you dont want to fook the threads up dude!

Yeah I've read about the threads. Shame there aren't any decent looking nuts for them.  :(

Yeah, I have the nuts they sell, but I wanted gold coloured dome shape ones. Maybe they do something like that in the US?

I've got a new set of coaster tuffs.

I emailed Skyway and asked what the tpi on the rear axle was, the response was " I think they're 24"

you would think if anyone would know for sure it would be the company that makes em'!

it's also annoying that you can't find out the tpi of the nuts! the shops react like it's a stupid question when you ask. :angrysoapbox:

rant over  :D

Just counted and it does look like they're 24 tpi. On other sites it mention US size is likely to be 3/8 (an a pm I received also mentioned 3/8) so that's what I'll go for.   24tpi-3/8.

Now to find some.
