Mat Smith! Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Does anybody know the size of the bolt which holds on the cone on a Chris King BMX hub? I've slightley rounded mine and would like to see if i can get a replacement.I've looked on the website but can't find anything, not really wanting to buy a full cone either, if nobody know what I'm talking about I could go take a picture.Thanks.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King C Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Have you got it out? Get some vernier calipers on it or a ruler. Can't promise it will be a metric thread though, it being american and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith! Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 If its not an american thread, then it isnt the same.Head size, length, thread is a little smaller but thats all, its all the same size, just wider threads.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I think he worked that out for himself...so all in all a really helpfull post mate...Read what he's written, you can interpret it both ways, so I thought I'd make sure he didn't kill his, very expensive, hub. At no point in any of the posts does Mat say or imply that he will see if the thread will fit, but then he doesn't say or imply he won't try it.Head size, length, thread is a little smaller but thats all, its all the same size, just wider threads.MatIn fact in this post it can be read to imply "it's almost all the same, should I try it". So how about you contribute something helpful, or at the very least (like my post) the potential to be so, or butt out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
