Determining axle size
Hell everyone,
I have a sunshine (Tour?) gyromaster rear hub. I took the axle out and cant figure out what size it is. The diameter is 5.08 and circumference is 16 mm. But I can't seem to find anything that matches either of those. I'm sure I'm measuring it wrong. Does anyone have any advice?

I have a pair of those hubs (came on my 1984 Fuji). I'm pretty sure they are Shimano/Suntour compatible which would make the rear axle M10x1 (10mm diameter, 1mm thread pitch). I remember once trying to use some cones from an otherwise damaged Ofmega rear hub (Campy compatible - M10x26) and not being able to thread them on so I ended up also using the Ofmega axle.
