Wanted: Surly Fixer Bolts

Managed to round off the hex bolt on my Surly rear hub and the bike shop doesn't seem to do them as spare.

Anyone got some floating around? Failing that, does anyone know where'll do them as spares, because as far as I can see Surly doesn't even do them individually, or will I be reet just using a bolt with the same thread?

Ta!

Unfortunately in Manchester, found a hex bolt at work that worked nicely. Was just wondering if Surly bolts were made of something strange and exotic and by not having specific bolts my rear hub might explode.

Turns out that's utter bollocks.

Formatting Help

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:

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

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