Both 26tpi but ends on rear needed cleaning up. I'm so heavy handed was scared to force and thread it.  Cheers for the help 😊👍

Take the lock nuts and screw the cones off and they'll clean up the ends, good spray of GT82 on the axles while your turning them.

I'm surprised/confused they are imperial because if the 10x1 fitted the front it can't really be 26 tpi.

Were they off an AP?

As I can make out the BMX and Track hubs where metric and the Road/MTB were imperial so theres an outside chance it could be right.

If you're just going by measurement I'd definitely double check by seeing if the cones fit both axles.  If the rear cone is 26tpi it's standard so it should fit an ordinary axle and an ordinary axle nut should fit it.

Defo going by a plastic ruler and my eye sight under the garage light. Not sure if came from an ap but the front cone fits the rear axle so they are the same size.
Think I'll take a wheel to our local nut shop

rodriguez:
If you've got a good bicycle shop near you with a good mechanic who knows what they're at try them too.

Good luck  :daumenhoch:

Think suntour are 24 tpi they are not a standard 10 mm thread. The threads are wider than normal 10mm USA use imperial thread and jap/Taiwan use metric. Stock old school was 3/8"
