Halo Spin Doctor nut size?

oddnumber

Hi chaps, got a Spin Doctor solid rear axle with no nuts unfortunately (the axle, not me).

I had some M10 knocking about that I tried, but they were unbelievably tight to fit - so much so that I gave up after not being able to budge them with an impact socket.

Do Halo axles have a weird thread or need an odd sized nut?


Thanks for any help

Just no, never, ever.
If nuts won't go on with fingers, they're either the wrong size or something is wrong, like a cross thread.

you know there is M10 fine and M10 coarse which did you have? and did you check the treads for compatibility?

Thanks chaps. Don't worry, I didn't give it too much stick with the impact socket!

Northern Monkey - that looks like what I have. The price difference between that and a set of Halo M10 nuts isn't much at all so I might invest in a new axle setup and keep the rest as spare.

Nick - i didn't compare threads, rather foolishly, Thats all I can think it'll be.
