Give them a call, they've been really helpful over the phone whenever I've contacted them.

Those washers are so shit. I ended up using a track nut (non-captive washer type) as a washer. The allen bolts supplied with Goldtec hubs are plenty long enough. Much more secure, and don't warp/melt/disintegrate.

do you have a link to the track nut thing you mentioned?

They were just lying around in my parts box. Found a crappy old photo:
This sort of thing:

so you just screw that all the way down on the bolt and then tighten the bolt as usual?
might help me out, have never found a solution for stopping my rear wheel creeping in the trackends, i think the are 6av so there is still not a mark on them after two and a half years of abuse

No, you don't screw the makeshift washer at all. The allen bolt slips through it without engaging any thread. It acts as a serrated washer. That's all. Does the job brilliantly.

Got a reply from BETD (wow!). No word on the alloy ones, but the stainless steel ones are available for £14, which is a bit steep IMO.
I understand it's a hollow axle, so I'm tempted to just use a skewer.

Goldtedc "top hat" washers
Posted by
Couldn''t find this in the search so...does anyone know of a source for the alu "top hat" washers used between the M8 bolts and the frame on a Goldtec rear hub? My bolts ate their way through the aluminium after a few years' worth of fitting and refitting. BETD don't list them.
