Busted Axel Thread - Dura Ace

Hey Guys,

Sorry to bother you.

Did a search on axles and just found one about pretty much the same thing but for Phil a phil hub. Was an old thread so thought i'd start fresh.

Have just been doing the usual maintenance, Tightening chain up by pulling the rear wheel back. I Couldn't get the rear wheel off due one of the nuts being too tight. Anyway with an array of tools i got it off in the end. and I seem to have ruined the threads on the axle. I'd noticed it being hard to loosen before but felt i should just tighten it up as tight as poss so it didnt come loose when riding and my chain stayed nice and tight.

Is this easy to fix?? Can i Just get a replacement? Has anyone else had this problem or am i being a total Idiot?

Guess i will be getting the Tube tomorrow :( boo hoo.

Thanks

Ross

You may have also ruined the thread on the cone and lock nut, so these might also need replacing.

You might also try searching for 'axle' rather than an ice-skating manoeuvre...

Woops. @Plantini. Sorry. Looks like a have more than 5 threads too read now.......

@Sam. Thanks for the heads up. I'll have a look. Thanks for the linky too. I think the axle may need to be a bit longer. I think its 164 mm (6-15/32"). Not too sure what the "(6-15/32")" means though.

hello,

have been googlin. On the shimano spares site the only rear dura ace hub diagram i can find is for the HB-7710-R - will the same parts be compatible with my HB-7600? The closest i've come to finding what i think i need is THIS which is in the States. Anyone know where i can get one in the UK quick? Uk Bike store seemed to stock a load of shimano spares but couldn't find no axle goodness.

Thanks
