Somehow I've managed to round the bolts on my rear wheel from the fixie, anyone else done this and what was the solution?

Thanks in advance

Do you mean the thread or the head? If it's the head, try a torx bit just larger than the allen bolt which should have enough purchase.

The head but it's not an Allen fitment, it's old school track bike nuts ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

File new flats on the nuts I guess. Have you tried a molegrip on it? They sound like fairly cheesy nuts so may be soft enough to get a good grip on... ooh err ๐Ÿ˜‰

Seriously, it's as if they are made of cheese!

Cheers for the suggestion
