#1: Hub Thread Author: ShaunCardiff, Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2018 10:46 pm ---- ARGH!
So, lifted the rear up today and noticed a nut missing and then noticed that despite 2 being 17mm, 1 was 19mm. That just annoyed me.
Anyway, grabbed a spare one that I had that should have fitted to find that the nut didn't catch at all when the alloy was on, seems to be missing the initial thread within the hub.
Without the alloy, the bolt catches and tightens well so appears to just be the initial few threads.
Annoyed me nonetheless!
#2: Re: Hub Thread Author: ShaunCardiff, Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2018 11:14 pm ---- Should also mention, the bolts currently in place are flat seated. I'd normally expect a taper seat for aftermarkets or is this just me?
Just wondering on replacing the whole lot... especially as they're not in the best shape! Of course there is always the option of a conversion kit - has anybody done this on here?

Personally I'd probably fit a replacement hub rather than trying to helicoil it .. also, conversion from/to what? Drum to disc I assume ...
#5: Re: Hub Thread Author: ShaunCardiff, Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2018 12:32 pm ---- I was thinking of a hub replacement - I like things shiny anyway!
I've thought about a change from drum to disc but the conversion seems to be a nightmare! Was looking at changing bolts to nuts - there's a few conversion kits available online I noticed, just wasn't sure how suitable they were!
