Does anyone know how to get hold of the nuts for Shimano Afine axles withot having to buy the whole fitting kit? I mean the ones on the end that hold the whell in place (that have an annoyingly unique thread spacing!) Do the Nexus ones fit?

I think, if I remember right that they are BMX 3/8th axel nuts – which I found out after I bought the fitting kit (again).

Also I think it’s SJS cycles that sell them seperate.

This was 2-3 years ago so I might be wrong, I don’t know about the nexus ones fitting.

I think I’ve managed to answer my own question. It looks like the part number is Y 314 14010, which I put into Petra Cycles’ ever useful search engine and out they popped 🙂

That place is brilliant – will keep it on my radar for future purchases.

cheers
