I need locknuts for my Formula rear hub, but I can't find any.

Any ideas?

Can I get some better quality ones from anywhere?

any metal ones 15mm should do you

No, I mean the ones inside the dropouts.

Which always disintegrate on Formula/Ambrosio/System EX etc...

get an old metal hub, clean up the lock nuts and slap them on problem solved 15mm should fit.

Aha, my one snapped in half when I tightened the nuts once...

I bought replacements from Condor, but they weren't cheap. £8 comes to mind, but I may have blacked the real figure out of my memory due to the abject horror of the experience.

after i twisted a front ambrosio/formula/iro/system-x hub the other day lacing a wheel with sloping radial design, i'm never going to buy one again :(

Just scored a pair in CONdor for a reasonable five sheets.

ah well, was just about to empty my nuts and bolts box over the floor to have a look, saved me the clean up and bollocking from the missus I suppose.

Hi all

Does anyone have a source for axle locknuts for the System EX hub?

Preferably better quality than the originals, one of which has just cracked.

Cheers all. I'm surprised the usual on-line suspects don't seem to have them.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
