Tacx M10 axle nuts for turbo trainer

[rogerzilla]

Bought some years ago but they've disappeared. Out of stock everywhere except in Europe, but Rose won't ship them to Brexit Island and other places want £30 postage. Anyone got a pair from an old trainer? Nothing else works, as the trainer clamp won't quite reach standard track nuts on a 120mm hub.

I've possibly got a TACX QR somewhere but that's not what you're after is it? You want nuts to enable you to clamp a bike with a solid axle into a TACX wheel-on trainer, izzat right?

It's possible that I may have accidentally acquired some, and if I have I won't need them because I now have a direct drive turbo. I'll look in my turbo-related junk box to see if there is anything that fits the bill. I seem to remember some mystery bits that I never used.

Yes, they're part number T1415 like this:

They are longer than normal track nuts and have the same end profile as the Tacx QR.

Hmmm. I have owned a TACX wheel on trainer in the past but they're not ringing a bell. I will look in the appropriate junk box but even if I have got some the chances of them actually being in the appropriate box are slim.

I looked. I found some strange bits and pieces but not the nuts you are after. Sorry

Thanks - mine turned up last night when I was looking for a straddle cable!
