Wanted: Track nuts

Posted on
  • Guys, where to find online good no-rust track hubs (front and rear) for formula compatible hubs? mines are a disaster... I ride a lot on wet weather and they're gathering rust very quickly.

    Are there any good inox, alloy or even titanium nuts out there? and cheap? what kind of nuts do you guys use on your hubs?

    what other solutions are there? I don't want QR skewers, tho'. only good old nuts, but ones that don't rust.

  • nothing, eh? :(

  • hmmm, dura-ace yeah but £10 for a pair of nuts is a bit high, unless they don't rust.

  • thanks anyway :)

  • to be honest mate they're all a similar price - any anodized ones will be pretty good too.

  • I bought a set of these last week not expecting much but they're actually pretty solid & nice looking

    Not sure of the material but would recommend for sure

  • Buy in bulk for less. No captive washer, but hey.

  • dunno what that is

  • It's a spray that contains solvents which do a great job of getting crap out of (for example) a chain, and teflon which coats whatever you have sprayed, providing lubrication and waterproofing.

    Onto the original question- get the DA track nuts, once you have seen how well they are made you will not regret the purchase.

    GT85 is something like WD40, right? good, I'll need that as I've spotted a little red rust coming from under the bottom part of the new headset. BTW, what's the best solution for this? take off the headset and put some nail polish on the frame?

    I will invest in those DA tracnuts, then. Thanks for the advice!

    as a side note: i live near the sea, so this is pretty bad in terms of rust, with all the salt in the air when we're in the humid season. it's pretty hard to avoid the metal from getting it... :S
