I have a on one pompino with a Miche primato hubs on the wheels. The other night I noticed the bolt had come off on one side at the front. I bought a standard wheel bolt only to find out this not fit as the miche hub has a non standard size axle and thus requiring a non standard size bolt.
Anyone got any suggestions for where I can get a replacement?
Also I cannot get enough tension on the chain to stop it bouncing off. Being a single speed should I put a chain tensioner on similar to a bmx? Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Yeh (chaintug). on-one sell them but surly are supposedly much bettershould I put a chain tensioner on
(Edit: you sure the chainline is right ?)
No idea re bolt size. Have you tried to google it to find out what size they are ?
Not sure there is a standard size but 9.0mm by 1 is the most common don't know if that's what miche use though

Look at the bottom

I think I had a similar issue with the On-One track hubs - I think the axles have a fine thread. I did borrow my dad's thread gauges and check and in the end re-used the rusty nuts that came with the hubs in the first place. I couldnt find replacements. Maybe a road/track specific shop could help.
There's a range of track nuts at SJS

and they make the distinction between 1mm threads and 26tpi, but Im not familiar with which one is right. Maybe bencooper is around and can help.
@orangeboy thanks for that, will drop them an email. I say standard as the chap at the bike shop refereed to the bolt he sold me as standard. Think the bolt I need is only very slightly smaller, but small enough to come off!
@scaredypants How would I know the chain line is wrong? Is it just a case of it being straight? In that case it is. I will have a look at surly.
Cheers.
Go to a shop to sort the nut unless you can find the hub spec online
@Stoner thanks for your response. Glad I am not the only one who has had this problem. As of yet I haven't found a solution. Was waiting for a response from Planet X but as of yet I have not heard anything.
Thanks again.
