Trying to get some activity going here.. Couldn't think of anything else to post about. :)

My Bianchi and my Miche hubs both came with cheap nuts, so I decided to get the track ones with the integrated washer. Kind of steep at about 6 bucks a piece (with the shipping), but I couldn't find them locally (I only asked at Cycle Smithy). Do you guys know if anyone like Yojimbos or somewhere sells the same thing, because I ordered four and I actually needed four pairs. :confused:

I'm picking up my wheels today. I'll post some pictures later.

They are worth the $6. For one thing, they save your frame from getting shredded.

I think Upgrade MAY have some (call first). Same for Marcus' shop (Yojimbo's).
You can even try Urban Bikes...

Try a shop that has bmx stuff. We got some integrated nuts for a freeeide guy (10mm) out of the bmx section of the Quality catalog
