Ghost AMR plus Rear axle nut

[justin33]

Hi guys,
I recently brought a second hand Ghost AMR plus 5900 but the rear 12mm thru axle bolt is missing. I have spent days and days emails companies including Ghost and DT Swiss and various other people to see if they can supply or at least put me in the right direction but ive hit a dead end.

I thought that with the skewer being DT Swiss that the nut should come with the skewer but it doesn't, its the frame that comes with the nut.

Ive attached a pic of the set up ( I think its called x-12 drop out or something ) and the nut is actually recessed into the frame and is also a coned shape

Can anybody help me out as the bike is usless without it

Thanks

They must be generic, surely they are not frame specific, as long as you get the right thread. Looking at https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/dt-swiss-rws-x-12-alloy/rp-prod81163 then I think https://gearmechhanger.com/Lock-nut-for-DT-Swiss-12x142-Axle-M12x1 could work.

Thanks for your reply mate.

Yes I would of thought that to but i cant seem to find anything. I have already seen the nut in your link but its a 1.5 inch pitch and i need a 1 inch pitch. Also i cant see if its tapered at the end or not.

I edited my post to a 1 inch thread.

i got one of those pili nuts today from ebay but it doesn't fit. The nut i need has a a collar that slides over the axle thread and then you tighten it up

The link to further details id broken but they seem to carry a full range of Ghost bikes and spares

It would probably be best to find a Ghost dealer

If all else fails a machine shop engineering firm will be able to make one for you.

The thread on a new carbon fork has a thread that unique,in that my 3 other 15mm axles don't fit.
