[#6777429]

What a mare of a day! Servicing up my Bontrager AT-850 front wheel (cup and cone) but one of the outer lock nuts has a big crack in it!

LBS rang trek but they don't sell the nut separately ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Can anyone point me at somewhere I can buy one of these pretty please!?

2014 Bontrager AT-850, 15mm front hub.
Outer lock nut that sits against the fork leg and backs up against the washer and cone. Hub itself has no brand/writing on it.

Might be worth looking at shimano hub spares, lots on this list, they might have something similar?

I might have some spare (not trek) but should work. I will check tomorrow.

I would love you forever if you do wiggles!

The closest I can find otherwise is plumbing supplies....which almost certainly will be much chunkier than they look in the pictures!

It presumably is a Bonty manufactured hub? I know some of their MTB stuff is/was rebadged DT Swiss.
