Thanks Graham but that is about as much use as tits on a snail  :LolLolLolLol:

anyone else got any ideas  :daumenhoch:

some axles have different size threads, ie Skyway were different to Profile ect
some are 24 tpi (thread per inch) and others are 26TPI they can also be different diameters 3/8" or 10mm typically, you need to take your wheels to a bike shop and try a few different ones  :daumenhoch:

 :) DINGO :)
