Need to chase some hub axle threads smooshed by my mountain bike's
rear dropouts. Can't spin the locknuts or cones off to service the
bearings. The hub's Deore XT, circa 2001. From this handy dandy chart
on Sheldon Brown's site,

It looks like 10mm diameter and 1mm pitch. Just don't want to go
purchasing the wrong die and destroying the threads entirely.

Thanks,

That sounds right.

To make life easier, you may want to just use the locknuts to chase the
threads, unless they're really really flat. New locknuts are cheap... dies
aren't.

Since it's '01 XT, I'm assuming your hub was quick-release. Was your
quick-release not tightened enough? How much do you weigh? What kind of
riding were you doing?
