Teamsloan Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I have an ISO disc rear hub that I’m trying to rehab for a singlespeed project. Does anyone have any of the “fun bolts” lying around? I can’t find anyone selling them anywhere. Also need a new HG drive shell as the current one is severely notched from the previous owners cassette. I figure it’s a long shot, but anyone have anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 another long shot: apparently these bolts are M12x1.0. you'll have to confirm that thread, but you'd need the end of the bolt just under the head turned town to 10mm to fit in conventional dropouts. it would not be hard for someone with a lathe to take some fine-thread M12 bolts and modify them to fit in the frame. I have seen this question come in a few other places and no one can find them. that's really weird that Chris King simply discontinued them, considering how many people love those hubs and they never seem to die.

June Bug Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) I was going to suggest Austin Bolt Company on Rutland Dr., which has been bought by ServPro. RIP Here's a Yelp review from April 2021: Austin Bolt used to be a "go-to" place if you needed a handful of fasteners. Now (post-Covid), they have bailed on their previous "customer-first" business model and only do wholesale accounts. Will-call and walk-up business is gone for retail customers. FastServ charges $20 shipping for web orders. Sayonara.... Edited February 28, 2022 by June Bug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point for fun bolts was to have a bolt on hub for standard 10mm dropouts. Are you sure that’s right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Get some bolts, bring those, my pullers, and come pick up your speakers and we'll turn down the screws on my little Sherline lathe. (buy some extras though, I'm not an expert machinist). Actually, if I can get my bike back together today, I may make the R&I. I could bring you your stuff and bring me the pullers and the bolts.

Are you sure that’s right? yes. I looked them up, and the threaded part of the bolt is 12mm. the outer shoulder is 10mm. so you can't thread the bolt completely out of a standard dropout. you loosen the bolts and let the axle fall drop right out. if you get some M12 x 1.0 (again, double check that thread pitch) and turn down the part that fits inside the dropouts, you could make some. still, I'd ask Chris King why in the world they stopped making something for the thousands of hubs that are still spinning out there. I found a few for sale by looking up the manufacturer part number: PHB507-10 Edited March 1, 2022 by mack_turtle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were saying the fun bolts needed to be turned down. 😛 i’ll search the part number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamsloan Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 I ended up contacting Chris King and they were able to locate some. They sent me an invoice. Rare parts are expensive! 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
