Hi Guys,
I have a quick couple of questions regarding wheel nuts and seat post binder bolts.
First up, I recently acquired a front wheel which has an old high flange Suzue track hub.
The axle is thinner than that of any of the other hubs I have had and I am having trouble finding the right sized track nuts for it.
I can’t find any information on the hubs on the internet so I was wondering if any of you parts gurus would be able to shed some light on the right size for me.
The hub is Branded Suzue Japan 2 B.
Secondly, I am looking for a seatpost binder bolt for an old track frame I have.
The smallest I can seem to get from the LBS is 19mm but it is still too wide.
I have measured between the two flanges and it appears to need a 15mm (or there abouts) size binder, But again I can find nothing smaller than 17mm online and even then I feel that will be too wide.
Any info or solution would be very handy.
Excuse the sideways photos!
Thanks in advance for your help…These 2 tiny problems are putting a halt on my build.
That frame may have had a nasty external nut setup originally.
For the hub, if it’s not a 3/8"x26tpi, and it’s smaller than your typical 9x1mm front axle, then it’s either 8mm or 5/16". Hit up a good hardware store and get what threads on without binding.
Apropos of nothing “Nuts and bolts. Help.” triggered a memory…about 20 years ago a mate decided after seeing some arthouse movie that he was going to restore an old Citroen light 15…he tracked one down that was “95% complete” and went and bought it. Thing is the “other 5%” was all the screw, bolts, nuts and pins in weird french gauges and threadings that were needed to bolt it all together.
