Was there an axle size between 10 and 14mm? I've got a wheel with axle that measures about 12.5mm and need some nuts for it asap. Anyone know what size i might need? Imperial? Any help appreciated!

I'd guess that it needs imperial nuts rather than metric. I know when I was rebuilding an old Raleigh Chopper, although the axle size looked similar to my BMX spares, nothing in the spares box would fit. Maybe worth asking on [url= http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php ]here[/url] though.

Just spotted [url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMX-WHEEL-Haro-Rear-12mm-axle_W0QQitemZ400025076292QQihZ027QQcategoryZ58089QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262http:// ]this[/url] while trawling ebay for bmx stuff, so yes, I guess they did make 12mm axles - may be worth getting in touch with Cyclesport who should be able to help with nut sizing.

Thanks for the link, MamaD. I might have it sorted now after a call to Hotwheels. They say Mongoose used a 12mm years ago, and i have some nuts in the post! Just hope them's the right ones. Thanks for your input though, i appreciate your time. Cheers, G.
