Old Sturmy Archer axle thread question

poverty with a view · Mar 10, 2012

So I have a 1968 Sturmy archer five speed hub. I am missing an axle nut from one side. Its not a metric or a standard thread type. Some one told me the name of the thread but I have forgot. Does anyone know where I could get more of these axle nuts? Thanks for your time

The info I have says 13/32 x 26 axle nut. It should be the same size as what came on the three speeds.

I should have the nut you need. I am traveling today and will be home tomorrow. I will check my inventory and let you know.

I'll bet what you are not remembering is British Standard ?, maybe Whitworth.......both not the kind of thing you find outside of British bicycle, motorcycle or car shops/enthusiasts. Fortunately we have such here!
BTW, if you end up with an old Raleigh badged bike you will likely find the headset and BB are proprietary Raleigh fine threads.
If you havent looked, Sheldon Brown's websight is a wealth of info.
