Hijack – Epicyclo: Can you recall/link to where you got the wingnuts for the Alfine? I’d like to do the same to mine.
Thought I’d check which types fitted so you’d have a visual on what to look for. (These pics have all been taken on an Alfine)
Cyclo type – these are what is on my bike. Lots of cheapies about and some can break if you use too much force, but a lot of force is not necessary anyway.
Huret type – I suspect these didn’t originally fit this thread, but they do now. 🙂 (No, not me forcing them on)
Raleigh/Rudge type – the gold standard IMO. Be prepared to pay good money for these.
There’s plenty wingnuts on eBay but it’s a lottery as to what size they are unless you have a knowledgable vendor, but once you’ve used them you won’t want to use a spanner again, and you can get your wheel off in much the same time as a QR.
