Hi Guys...
After patiently waiting the last 3 weeks to get on to my current build, a 1980 white and red mongoose motmag, i get to Sunday afternoon and...
I couldn't get it finished!!!
My problem. Rear Motomag wheel, with reusable guts... nicely cleaned and put back together ready to fit.. when i realise i am missing the rear wheel nut off one side... this in most cases not being a problem i went into my box of bits to pull out every single nut i can find and none of them will fit.... Is it because the axle is american, and uses imperial or metric threads...? I tried to put a bolt from my american 81 mongoose and it started to cross thread...
I even stripped it back down ready to put onto a new axle but the bendix coaster bits wouldn't fit the thread of my replacement axle...
Am i being stupid (admittedly not knowing the difference between imperial and metric would highlight i am not a mechanical genius..)
Help please...
