NUTS

<< < (3/3)

duncan:
Needing some myself, so this is the information I've managed to gather so far:

For the latest sealed bearing Tuffs: a mix of 24tpi and 26tpi. Skyway plan to go all 26tpi soon.
For older non-sealed bearing Tuffs: Front 24tpi, Rear freewheel 24tpi, Rear coaster 24tpi.

BUT, you should consider whether your axles may have been replaced before you received the wheels.
Take them along to a shop if you're not sure what size to buy.

Also some people recommend  '10mm x 1mm metric' nuts for Suntour coaster brake axles.

Flaz:
well i just bought some from vertegos     he said there for skyways  so they better fit   

oberonspacefruit:
yep, flaz, thats it, if in doubt, replace the axle. it will fit pegs on better any hoo...

The NUTS title just got me thinking....

I got a phone call last week from a chap that I gave a Black Burner too. Anyway, he is big on snow boarding, wake boarding, water skiing and has a Camper etc so a bit of a nutter. A gang all went to the lakes for the weekend for some board action and got rather mashed up during the Bar B Q and evening session. The bike came out and it was jumped off the jetty into the water by the whole croud (loads of pics to follow). It was a crazy night and many tricks carried out.

One chap was a very worse for wear and ripped his leg open - he sent in a pic (the story has been changed though) and got £1000 for a few hundreds words of edited text in the last issue!

Easy money!
