No 26 TPI threaded rod in USA?

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. You can find some 3/8" 26 TPI axles on eBay. Not sure if they are the length you are looking for. I.e. http://www.ebay.com/itm/122017856161. But finding a local bike shop with any is going to be tough. Yes 3/8" 26 TPI axles are easy to find on fleaBay. I ordered a couple of them as a workaround.

A short visit to any competent LBS which commonly services bicycles would benefit you greatly. It's almost certainly an m9.5x1.0 solid axle (from your various descriptions) which may be replaced by a name-brand m10x1 axle set for roughly $10~$20. So all of the axle rod on eBay and Amazon sold as 26 TPI is actually metric rod at one thread per millimeter. Thanks. -- Usual admonitions- change the bearings as well, cleanliness matters, fill with grease to the depth of the bearing, adjust as free as possible without sideplay, oil axle threads and lock locknuts firmly. |

replace an axle is rocket science should not be in a technical help group for hardware issues. But seriously.

And when that doesn't work, at least he'll have the right cones. I'm sure you can buy bags of cones from China for like a dollar. Not sure about the price of cones, but the idea behind replacing an axle is very simple. An axle is simply a threaded rod cut to a certain length. Therefore, simply replacing that threaded rod with a threaded rod is a no-brainer if you can find the correct diameter and thread pitch threaded rod. Everybody knows how to use a rotary tool for the cutting. Buying threaded rod would be good for a selection of steel types, and then being able to cut the rod to any length, but... only if a foot or two of the threaded rod from the hardware supplier like McMaster Carr here in the USA is less expensive than buying the equivalent precut axles in whatever configuration/kit off of eBay or Amazon. At first glance, finely threaded metric rod appears to be more expensive at McMaster Carr. Don't know about its hardness versus the easily bent crap from China. BTW, why would someone need bulk axles? Is John Doe maintaining a BMX fleet? That idea is a figment of your imagination. |

No 26 TPI threaded rod in USA?
imagination....
NO. The approach used here by the OP is for a racer on new parts replacing new parts with newer parts new OIL...maybe s serious tourer but that's a stretch. what the OP has is a worn out mechanism. threaded rods via M Carr are for specific purposes LIKE BICYCLE AXLES , but not from M Carr whom is not selling bicycle axles, WHEELS MFG sells bicycle axles. If Wheels isnot selling the Eng standad then move into a metric conversion. This is your best path with the best materials. Its all nickel n dime whats the problem ? Good stuff at low costs...this is the bottom line here. IHS |

Besides finding threaded rod with the proper diameter and thread pitch, you also have to ensure that it isn't just made from mild steel, like the threaded rod normally sold at hardware stores. McMaster sells grade 8 and grade 12.9. $65.52 for one meter. Then you have to be able to cut such hard steel. There are times when using commodity hardware on a bicycle makes sense, and times when it makes no sense. |
