Question about a replacing a nut/washer
Long story short - I replaced my girlfriends tires and I didn't bolt the right nut/washer tight enough and it fell off mid ride - I now have no idea where I could find a replacement.
Without taking it into a bikeshop, anything else i can do?
Bike: Save Up to 60% Off Windsor Fixie Singlespeed Bikes - Clockwork
PS - It was a nut with a built in washer.
Thanks

If it's the rear wheel, then it's 10mm. The front is 9mm. In a pinch you can pick up a 9mm or 10mm hex nut in a hardware store, and use a separate steel flat washer.

Dude, just get off your ass and go to a bike shop.
Not always. Cheapo wheelsets like Pure Fix, etc. often use 10mm for both.
The bike in question should have a 9mm front/10mm rear though.
