@Michigan Picker amazing. Thank you!

I am new here. I cannot find a message option (I am pretty adept at forums.) Is it possible that I am temporarily restricted from messaging, or I just have not found it? Can you start a conversation with me or do you have a public email that I may use?

Thanks!

If readily available, known 3/8-24 and 3/8-26 axle nuts may be used to verify the threads on an axle, (assuming that the axle threads are not too far gone).

Another method is to use a metric scale with 25.4 divisions per inch. If the threads are slightly tighter than the metric scale, then 26-tpi is likely; and if wider than the metric scale, then the 24-tpi is more likely.

I find that the chrome-moly Wheel Master "Axle-34" (9.5mm) a bit on the long side, and the Porkchop-BMX CR-MO version a bit short, (depending on washers and nuts).

I like the NOS Wald # 282 replacement axles.
