Title: How big are your nuts
Post by: Glynnyboy on November 15, 2008, 10:03 PM

I Know this has probably been asked before but i can't find it or missed it.
What spindle tpi ?
I have some suntour unsealed bearing hubs, they are the same as suzue
The suntour sealed are different to the suzie and the skyway. So what size nut doe's  a suntour unselaed bearing hub axle have? :daumenhoch:

Standard = 26tpi
Skyway = 24tpi

skyways can come 24tpi or 26tpi and often mixed, 26tpi front 24tpi rear.

suntour are an odd one I believe, i think they should be 24tpi, but those after market suntour nuts, you know, alloy, coloured, are 26tpi.

someone with a bit more knowledge than me might be able to confirm/correct this.

Try www.billys.co.uk they do wheel nuts in both thread sizes and will be quicker than ordering from the US  :daumenhoch:
