Full Version: How hard is it to find 2nd gen Flight spindle bolts?
How difficult is it to find 2nd generation Redline Flight spindle bolts (the ones that cap the cranks at the axle end)? I might buy a pair that doesn't have bolts but would pass if they're impossible to find seperately. I occassionally see the cranks sold with the bolts but almost never see just bolts for sale. --thanks.
I'm sure it is some kind of standard bolt. Redline wouldn't make custom bolts - that would be dumb and expensive.
Thanks Dave, when the laughing stops I wouldn't mind a serious answer. I'm not asking to buy them, I seriously don't know how rare they are. Last thing I want is to buy cranks and then sit around for years waiting on a pair of bolts that may never be found.
YOU BUY THE CRANKS,I'LL TRADE YOU SOMTHING FOR THEM J/K I JUST REPLACED 3 SETS,(ROCKFORD PREP) GO TO A NUT / BOLT WAREHOUSE THEY CAN HOOK YOU UP WITH SOME STAINLESS.YOU MAY HAVE TO CUT THEM DOWN, NO BIGGIE JUST RUN A NUT TO DESIRED LENGTH,AND CUT WITH A DREMEL TOOL.IF YOU DON'T HAVE SUCH A STORE E-MAIL ME AND I'LL HOOK YOU UP.
Cool, thanks man.
Does anyone know what size bolt I should ask for?
--gracias

Umm - I was serious. Did Redline make custom bolts? If so, I guess the jokes on me. Still seems dumb.
I FORGET THE SIZE , I BROUGHT 1 EA. IN ,REGARDLESS BRING THE AXLE AND ARM IN , THEY SHOULD MATCH THEM UP FOR YOU,THATS WHAT THEY DO .WHEN YOU GET THE CRANKS LET ME KNOW.IF YOUR GOING TO ROCKFORD , I'LL BE THERE..........
The only custom bolts Redline had made were the early drive arm chainring bolts. It seems that you cannot buy a domed head nut like that with a collar on it from anyone but Redline.
I didn't bother searching the mcmaster link above.
All the other bolts for the cranks , pinch & spindle , seem to be off the shelf stuff from any good engineering supply shop.
Wallet thickness pending you should be able to get them in the High Carbon Black Grade 8 for that industrial realistic prided look or go for the $hiny $tainless $teel ones.There should also be a middle of the road tradeoff chrome plated bolts as well that usually don't rust & don't match up to the grade 8's or $$ bolts strength.
You gets whats you pays for.

Forgot one other thing , oldracer there is no need to type in all caps , if you are new to the evil internet , ALL CAPS MEANS YOU'RE SHOUTING , lower case & capital letters when they are needed (check the FAQ) , unless you are a very noisy & angry person who has hammered your keyboard & got the caps lock key busted
Lots of comma's , is OK in a post , but I too strive to be writing properly structured sentences , one day , with full stops in them , and maybe paragraphs , in all my posts , one day too. <heh>

C03-12081 is the part number for the early flight spindle bolts from that pointe products website.
