London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Broux · 29th December 2009

I bought a Halo Aerorage wheelset off the bay a while ago, and they were sold without track nuts. I have been UTFS'ing for about an hour now, and have found no clues on what size nuts I need. So, basically, what nuts do I need to get for them (i.e what sizes)...? Help :(

And are there any steel track nuts you could recommend ? (apart from DA, I can't really justify spending £20 on some nuts...)

i would just go to your local bike shop and ask for some track nuts.

System EX = Halo = Ambrosio = On-One = SJS = Zenith = Formula = Zero = IRO

Mind you, that's only a wild guess.

Halo make their own track nuts, in lots of colours, if colour/brand coordination is your bag. They used to sell them in 14 for £8 a pair, don't know if they still do:

Aren't they alloy, though ?

My LBS is Decathlon, and they don't even know what size I need

kerley · 30th December 2009

You need these sizes. The front axle is 9mm and the rear is 10mm but both nuts use a 15mm spanner.

Have you tried Robinsons on Jamaica Road? Druid Street Cycles round the corner from there too. Have you really bothered to look for an LBS?

Broux · 30th December 2009

I live in rural France.

I live in rural England, so my stuff pretty much all comes from the Internet. Have you tried there :-)

Broux · 30th December 2009

Yep, but after 1h of googling, I found no answers
And LFGSS counts as internet too ;)

Broux, I pretty much think that everyone on this forum knew that answer.

It wasn't a "wild guess" on my part, to supply you with a linked answer.

Maybe things just proceed at a more genteel pace in France?

Broux · 11th January 2010

Please don't patronize me. I'm not thick. I may not know everything about bikes, but I think I know a bit more than the majority of 14 year olds... Just, please don't take the piss. Thanks for the help anyway (:

GA2G · 11th January 2010

Broux, you're 14? Sorry, I had thought you much younger. I take it all back. Sorry.

You could say that, what with sundays and lunchtimes when everything shuts and the general bureaucratic red-tape, it's not as "on demand" as Broken Britain

Don't Halo use some non standard thread pitch? I had a Halo fixed/free hub a little while ago (which I ended up selling on) and I'm positive that the track nuts off my On-One hubs didn't fit when I tried them.

@ OP-I've had a quick look via google and I can't find any info. I'd go back to wherever you got the wheels from and ask them.

Peace

Kurt

In defence of OP one of my LBSs (Brick Lane Bikes, kinda know a bit about fixies) didn't even know what size track nuts Halo's take! Hence I am now on google googling and finding this thread!!!!
