No 26 TPI threaded rod in USA?
That's inconvenient.
That means we have to throw money at China for 3/8" 26 TPI axle material just to get an axle that's not bent? My thread measuring tool doesn't even include 26 TPI. It goes from 24 to 27 TPI. The only threaded rod I see available here in the USA is 24 TPI. |

Google isn't my friend.
You might want to look at the results instead of just spitting them out there. Or maybe it's just another slopportunity to display your signature. -- Jeff Liebermann wrote in : On Tue, 5 Jul 2016 05:24:40 -0000 (UTC), John Doe wrote: That's inconvenient.

possible here USA this size is used for an in motion nut mechanism
see McMaster Carr I wuz looking at fabbing a remote headlamp aiming mechanism otherwise try the Practical Machinist https://www.google.com/#q=threaded+r...s-26+is+metric |

McMaster Carr does not have 26 TPI threaded bolts.

You acted helpful, but it was only an act.

My thread measuring tool doesn't even include 26 TPI. It goes from 24 to 27 TPI. The only threaded rod I see available here in the USA is 24 TPI. Coaster brake? I suppose. I looked at those but noticed apparently they are sold with only one cone (outer bearing race). New axle and also axle nuts, locknuts etc are cheap at any competent LBS which regularly services bicycles. That might depend on your definition of "cheap". Can you post a link to any such sales of cones for 24 TPI axles by bike shops that have an online presence? I haven't even found a place on the Internet to buy the cones for 24 TPI axles. And I wonder if a 24 TPI axle will work with the most common bicycle hubs meant for 3/8 inch 26 TPI threaded rods and cones. I would switch if that's what's necessary, but at first look it appears to be difficult. But of course that might just be inexperience talking. Older British hub? You want a Whitworth (55 degree thread, not 60-degree SAE) gauge. Spares are not all that common but may be had. British-made freewheel hubs are frequently rebuilt with modern metric axle sets of better quality. Or is it a modern standard m10x1 metric axle? Cheap as dirt anywhere bicycles are serviced. That 25.4tpi advancement can appear 'sorta between 24 & 28'. I'm talking about the most common axle for geared consumer grade bikes, that's what's listed as (3/8" 26t). It appears to be much closer to 27 TPI than it is to 24 TPI. I suppose the most common axle threading might not really be 26 TPI, it might easily be metric, but everybody calls it 26 TPI. The axles I have appear to be less than .371 inch diameter which isn't exactly 3/8 inch. That might be because of the threading process, or it might be because they are metric and aren't really 3/8 inch diameter. It does seem strange that European or Chinese bicycle makers would change a 24 TPI specification to something non-metric like 26 TPI. So maybe it's not really 26 TPI. In any case... It's a bit strange and disappointing that the most common axle "26 TPI" threaded rod is not sold in the United States. But oh well. I ordered a couple of replacement axle assemblies for the standard 3/8 inch 26 TPI axles that appear on most geared consumer bikes, just to get the axles. That's my workaround. If it satisfies, maybe I'll know more of the lingo by the next time I need help with it. |
