Cone nut help needed - can you still buy Kink fat nuts or similar?

(1/2) > >>

mamadirt:
I'm running a bog standard generic rear 10mm rear wheel in 14mm slots with axle adaptors but I need larger cone nuts as the standard ones are barely supported in the frame.  I know Kink used to do 'fat nuts' but I can't find them anywhere.  Spotted these - http://www.customriders.com/prodshow.asp?prodid=1624&cat=2&parent=1001&sid=3 but the mention of freecoasters is making me doubt whether they'd fit . . . I'm guessing my threads are more likely 26 tpi.

Gary72:
I use something like this from my local bike shop. Still have to be careful with the tpi though.

mamadirt:
Cheers, they look like they'll do the job and at that price it's not too much of a problem if the thread is the wrong size.  :daumenhoch:

I'm after something similar as I need to fit an adaptor. Billys do an adaptor that replaces the cone nut and there are also some Diamondback ones on ebay.

mamadirt:
Cheers!  Spotted the 4Jeri ones on the Billys site.  Ebay ones look similar though and are cheaper so reckon I'll go for those.
