Im building up a copy of my bike from 1982, a Huffy Pro Thunder which I replaced most of the parts on.
The frame and forks are NOS and I'm planning to fit some alloy hub skyways. As the skyways have a round spindle they obviously won't fit the forks so what are my option?
File the spindle - reluctant to do this, or..
Replace the spindle - where can I get hold of a replacement?
Any ideas???

Right i have been resto'ing some of my hubs with a rebuild kit that i have - i have got a load of hubs/axles in and i take them apart and clean them up, they can be used to rebuild most standard hubs.
I have rebuilt up sets of Alloy hubbed Skyway mags with the cup bearings holders (not sealed bearing hubs) - you can replace most cup race bearing holder type mags and spoked wheels - although some might not fit so you will have to check first.
you can replace the axle to a standard fit size nut that is on a 10mm axle.
so i can do you a 10mm axle - a caged bearing race - cone nuts that go against the bearings - the washer nut that sits tight next the cone nut - a bobble washer - a outside nut.
here is what the kit looks like

So you get
2x axle in black - 138mm long 10mm wide - standard thread size (not skyway size, so won't fit skyway nuts on)
4x caged bearing race in silver- 24mm across - 6mm deep - strong and well made.
4x cone nuts in black with removable skirt/shield, just tap it off or move up and down for a better fit - 17mm across 14mm deep on cone nut - 24mm across 2mm deep on shield.
4x washer nut in silver - 16mm across - 3mm deep
4x bobble washer in silver (well what would you call it ?) 16mm across - 2mm deep
4x outer nut in silver - 15mm across - 14mm deep

If you want a kit it will do both wheels - but please check rear drop out size of axle, as some can be wide (you can use your own rear axle with this kit if you need to fit wider )
i can sell a single half kit for one wheel if needed
kits will not be broken up for sale of individual parts
price's are
£10 posted for a kit (this is for two wheels)
£5 posted for a half kit (for one wheel )
if i get loads of members wanting this item, it may take a little while to sort the first load out - i have work and other members mags to restore + need to sleep and eat at some point !
please post in here and then a pm - if i don't get both you will miss out
they may not fit all, that is why i have given sizes - so please realize I'm not perfect, just trying to help
