Skyway axle bolts
« on: March 24, 2009, 06:08 PM »
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 :wtf:

the rear ones are a little loose!

Got to love Skyways attention to detain :D
