Track Nuts

Hello,

I wanted to ask if you might help me... I have a Charge plug ( road model 2010 )
The rear Axle nuts ( Track nut ) have become worn. I bought a pair of 10mm nuts ( The rotating washer kind )
But they won't fit - too small. Just a fraction too small.

I wrote to Charge - they confirmed that both axles ( rear and front ) were 10mm? ( In fact, 10 x 1mm )
I've been to three local bike shops - all have stared very blankly at my request for a replacement or knowledge of them?

Where can you buy these babies... and why is it so tricky to locate info on them?

With many thanks in advance,
Psykel

    modern rear track nuts are typically 10mm thread and expect your Charge to be no different. Check you haven't been given old style 3/8" ones or 9mm fronts by mistake
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
