AlbatrossCafe Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Anyone know the thread size and thread pitch of the 2 nuts used to set the chain adjustment? I think they are 12mm heads but I need to know the thread information so I can buy replacements. There are 2 on each side of the rear wheel. I am NOT talking about the giant axle nut. I have to adjust my chain every couple weeks or so, and I am just now realizing it is probably because I only have one nut on each side and it is no doubt working its way loose. I need another pair, and I have no desire to pay $2.95/ea + $10 shipping online when I can get them for $1 total at my local hardware store.

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted April 4, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted April 4, 2018 Why not take one of the nuts you have to a hardware store and find a screw that it fits. That will show what nuts you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member norcal616 Posted April 4, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted April 4, 2018 Your better off hitting up the local Fastnal store as they got nuts/bolts galore... even got a new lower rear shock bolt/nut for like $5 a few years ago... 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbatrossCafe Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 FYI - size is M8 x 1.25 Finding individual bolts/nuts is so infuriating. Tried Fastenal, they only sell "wholesale". Tried harbor freight, they only sell stuff in "462 piece nut/bolt/washer set", tried a local construction supply store and they didn't carry anything that small. Eventually went to Lowe's and they barely stock any metrics. Ended up with a pack of 10 of those bolts for $1.50.

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted April 6, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2018 We have a great local hardware store in Bellingham called Hardware Sales. They have everything there, it is just a matter of finding it, which is half the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
