Title: 10mm to 14mm axles/axle converters
Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on May 14, 2013, 08:38 PM

My mate has bought a bmx, and he wants to add some old school flavour to it. His frame & fork has 14mm dropouts. He's thinking about getting a set of 10mm skyway tuffs in white. Are there converters available to increase the 10mm axle to a 14mm? Thanks

I had some of those when I first bought my new school tuffs from Alans. I ended up buying the thread on ones btw which are 26 tpi.The skyway threads are 24 tpi. I drilled, the adaptors at 9.5 mm and rogered them on to the skyway axles. Axles got damn hot, but they threaded on. Personally, the washer adapters work well, but challenge, accepted.
