bigamac Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) I have a t-pro onza rear hub.I got a bolt cross threaded on the axle.And my step dad says no point in buying new wheel. Nor a new hub and get re-spoked. Just get a new axle.yes they have them in tarty, but out of stock.I emailed them and they said they can't get any from onza.So any help where i can get one?My step dad also says it doesn't have to be onza.I'm disagreeing because i would of thought that it would have to be onza to fit the hub. right?http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=22This is the one i need, the t-pro axle.Any ideas what to do?

Mat Smith! Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Go to b&q and get threaded bar with the same thread as ur axel, thats all it is pretty much, cut it down to size, them hubs dont last long anyway.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) He now says cant do that.1. Not strong enough.2. It's not an axle.And from my opinion wouldn't the thread wear the hub?I need like places i can buy an axle.Cheers though.

Bionic Balls Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 he's right...any decent bike shop that sells bmx's should be able to get the part no problem...looks really very standard indeed (probably cheaper too..)adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Someone round here must have a back wheel you could buy for a 5er or something with that hub. Then just take the axle out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials_pimp Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Thats a Standard M10x1 Thread.You could repair the threads on your axle with a Die, or thread repair Kit.Failing that Any bike shop should be able to supply you with an axle.Simple to fit, and cheap to buy. Also No Reason the Hub shouldnt last a long time if adjusted and fitted correctly.If the Threads on the Very end of the Axle are damaged an Emergency repair would be to cut the damaged threads off, or if your clever, smooth them off ad use the bare axle as a lead to make a start for the Remaining threads. But for the Effort involved you could go to the Shop and get a new axle for about £6 and fit it in 10 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the Effort involved you could go to the Shop and get a new axle for about £6 and fit it in 10 minsor the other way round...the damaged bit is usually nearest the dropout (where the nut actually tightens) so you can sometimes get away with putting a couple of washers over the damaged bit and then the nut can grip on the decent thread further away adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 That's a good idea, but how can you have a decent bit of thread, leading to a cross threaded bit? Can't see how that'd happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 the nut goes on the axle..you screw it along till it gets to the dropout..you tighten..(too much!)...threads twist...that bit is frenched..washers mean you tighten the nut further from the dropout...big success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well the nut it like in the middle from the drop out and the end. Ohwell. I should be able to get the axle tomorrow hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be exactly the same as that if you get a steel threaded bar, but whatever.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamus Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Most axles are (heat) treated steel, of quite a high grade. which is why they can deal with us abusing them. but the onza hub axle will probably be a pretty universal size, try getting dimensions and hitting a few spares places, and stick something up in the wanted section Edited January 7, 2009 by shamus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigamac Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 but they cant, cos onza hubs are wank, i killed one within an hour of riding and i could barely back hop?You must be such a harsh rider then. Because as I've been using one fore 6 months. And I land heavy.Well I'll be going to look tonight so hopefully riding again sooooon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also No Reason the Hub shouldnt last a long time if adjusted and fitted correctly.Actually it will be a 3/8" 26tpi british cycle thread, something completely different to M10x1 But as said its just a standard cycle axle available from any good bike shop for about a fiver or so, just thread your bearing cones and locknuts on and jobs a goodun.

bigamac Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Got it now. Going to fit it later. £5.99 it cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 If it's that much too long then fit the wheel in the dropouts, tighten it up and cut the ends off, simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
