Tuff nuts.

[flat spot]

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?

cheer F.S.

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!

[flat spot]

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

the only place i found nuts for tuffs was vert-ego

[flat spot]

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.

rant over 

[flat spot]

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.

I'll buy your old ones when you find some

Hey, just for your info, I  bought a thread gauge and they are in fact 26 TPI.

do they have the 14mm rear axle?

Mine, the coaster version, have 2x10mm

[Stella Dave]

No, 24 and 26 look same diameter but diff threads obviously

Damn, so are mine. I only checked 1 wheel. It never occured to me they would be different sizes.
