Skyway axle threads

<< < (2/5) > >>

monkeybat:
No one has come out with a straight answer, will 3/8" fit or be loose on the new hub front and rear? Cheers Steve.

The new skyway's have come with new axles I had a set of 24 tpi for the back that went on like a treat then I had some 26 tpi for the front and destroyed the threads on them at that point i purchased some Dyno fork-standers These are 2009 wheels.

The 2010 wheels now have identical front and rear so I would wait until they arrive then get counting them threads.  My best guess would be 26 tpi for both axles if are 2010 wheels  :daumenhoch:

oldtired:
all the  ones  i had were 24 tpi on both, i beleive the new ones are the same, 3/8 24tpi, ?,,something to with the old imperial thread standards, the us standard was different to uk whitworth? 3/8 and 10mm are pretty close,   a 10mm nut on 3/8 axle will strip out because the thread wont fully mesh on the axle

I have a set of yellow, black and white all the same front and back and alloy hubbed,
I have a set of red steel hubbed coaster and they are differant front and back.

telelogic:
I had the same problem!

I bought a thread gauge for about three quid. It's the only way to be sure  :daumenhoch:
