Skyway axle threads

<< < (5/5)

right on me laptop now so can type properly...


you can by one and use the existing axle locking nuts off your skyway axle 2 tpi difference wont make a lot of difference as they are quite thin BUT if it knackers the thread on the axle you already have a set of 26 tpi lock nut ready for if you have to buy another new axle.  I succeeded with just buying the one axle though. :4_17_5:

Ordered 1 set now back on track. Cheers.

Update and be warned, i got my new axle of e-bay but it was still not 26 tpi or 24 tpi ? I have since heard there are a few different threads knocking about. Went to Grips in Rayleigh Essex(top shop) and he sorted out the correct axle. My hybrid Dave Mirra Flair is now on track. Cheers to all who helped.

monkeybat:
Just got another pair of brand new tuffs(2010) off e-bay and the front and back axle are the same. So just got tot get another pair of axle boosters 10-14mm. I have just got another Dave Mirra flair complete bike for silly money and im doing a whole different paint job black and orange.

monkeybat:
Just tried my axle converters on my new(2010) Skyways and there still not 26tpi front or back-got to get more axles now.
