    My thanks to hubgearfreak and marcusthemoose for your offers of help, the hub nuts would be much appreciated.

    I have a blue single speed Raleigh Bomber ( 1978 model i think). It has all its origional parts, but at some point its had the rear wheel removed and the retaining nuts are missing. Could anyone tell me what threads are on the wheel spindles as they appear very fine, and where I could get some...
