Re: New axle nut fitted.

Is there something special about stainless axle nuts, are they just metric thread?

I have about 30kg of assorted stainless in a box here

That's probably because they've all been 'flanged self locking nuts'...like the rear sprocket nuts :p ;)

21Quest is right - all the standard spindle nuts are self locking. Some other countries do not allow this and thus a castellated nut and split pin is used.

None are 'just a nut', stainless or otherwise.

I got a replacement axle nut from Suzuki for my Curvy and it was the same as the old one which was not self locking.

Come to think of it, I have noticed that you can't ever spin an axle nut on by hand.

That's probably why!
