Title: Bullseye Axles - What are my options?
Post by: brass monkey! on August 02, 2011, 08:40 AM: i blagged a pair of original early 80's BULLSEYE HUBS (£30 !), but they have no axles....

They have the bearings etc., so I only need a pair of axles, ... can I get a pair or retrofit axles that will fit???, other than the expensive Bullseye ones?

thanks for any help...
Matt

**SIZE IS 3/8 X 24TPI**

WOODY

early one's were bolt through like woody says (single bolt that went through the axle with a nut on one side)
later versions came with allen head bolts on both sides (these come in 2 sizes so be carefull as the smaller size is just meant for small riders and wont take a grown ups weight)
