Upgrading the wife's bike - rear axle question

I ran across them at a friend's shop, he didn't know where he'd gotten them or what in the world he would do with them, so he gave them to me. It's a happy coincidence that most Taiwanese BMX/freestyle hubs from the pre-14mm axle days have 3/8"-26 threading, just like smelly old Brit bike rear wheels. Wing nuts are all the front QR a big boy needs! Chalo |
