My rear nuts

Posted on
  • Hello,

    I wanted to ask if you might help me... I have a Charge plug ( road model 2010 )
    The rear Axle nuts ( Track nut ) have become worn. I bought a pair of 10mm nuts ( The rotating washer kind )
    But they won't fit - too small. Just a fraction too small.

    I wrote to Charge - they confirmed that both axles ( rear and front ) were 10mm? ( In fact, they said 10 x 1mm )
    I've been to three local bike shops - all have stared very blankly at my request for a replacement or knowledge of them?

    Where can you buy these babies... and why is it so tricky to locate info on them... do they actually exist, or are they just 10mm by another name?

    With many thanks in advance,
    Awk

  • The thread is metric fine 10mm x 1mm pitch (distance the nut moves per turn).
    10mm threads also come in 1.25mm and 1.5mm pitches. which are the sizes if you buy from ironmongers or nick from a factory.

  • Thanks WorryWort,

    But does that mean... a 'standard' 10mm nut, is exactly the same as a 10 x 1mm?

    Velosolo do 10mm track nuts with 1mm pitch for £2.95 + £1.95 postage. Probably find them cheaper elsewhere but a lot of sites don't specify the pitch

  • Thanks DazDirt - much appreciated!
