Does anyone have a replacement axle bolt for a goldtec front hub or know if there is anything i can use as a substitute.

Its off my girls bike so there wont be too much wear and tear.

Bet Goldtech themselves will supply you with one without too much hassle. They're here: BETD

Yeah. Contacted them and it would be 10 days min wait and im copping an earful.Wondering if there might be a quicker way. My fault apparently.

heh. Bad luck.

Try clerkenwell screws? Big fat threaded allen headed bolt... preferably made of kryptonite.

Chances are they're different, front and rear... I don't know, ask the forum's Goldtech Fanboy, murtle.

I'm pretty sure they are different... Take the good bolt out of the other side and pedal up to Clerkenwell Screws... Uncle Skully is usually right...

Front and rear are different.

Personally I picture Unkle Skully as being some kind of kiddy fiddler/child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang type character.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
