I bought a couple of track nuts from my LBS for a front axle a while ago. Put them on ok, but then discovered that my carry along spanner didn't fit them. The are 15.2mm across, so a 15mm spanner doesn't fit and a 16mm is a bit loose. 15.2mm doesn't match any reasonable inch size as far as I can see: it's 0.6". Are they just out of tolerance? Or some previously unknown standard. It's a 9mmx1mm axle.

i have a pair of these as well they where cheap so i reckon it was probably a case of chroming them has added the extra .2mm. After a lot of use one i can get a 15mm spanner on them but its a very tight fit.

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
