WTB: axle for maillard 700 hub
My vintage bike has a maillard 700 hub on the rear wheel.
The hub has plenty of years left in it, but sadly the axle has developed a serious kink and needs replacing. Any tips as to what axle will fit it? Or any axles (or hubs-and-axles) for sale at all? Thanks |

My experience is that, even if a replacement axle won't accept the sones you have, if you can find any axle which has cones on it already, it will work. Now, this may not apply to stuff from the 1940s, but it should apply to your Mailliard. Finding an axle for this (aren't all French parts from that era nonstandard??) will be hard, but using a Campy one will probably work, and is certainly worth a try. -- David L.

Sorry to disapoint all-including Mr. Johnson-but for some reason Maillard 700 rear hubs take standard 10x1 axles. How very un-French of them. I know I was floored when I widened my 700s to 130 and discovered this. No real disappointment, but I am "shocked, shocked" that Maillard could get away with that. It does make the OP's original problem easier. -- David L.

I know I was floored when I widened my 700s to 130 and discovered this. Phil Brown Which one had the very fine thread? Dear AF, The axles may have been "standard"--Sheldon's page about the odd sizes on French bikes is silent about any axle weirdness: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/velos.html Cheers, Carl Fogel Ah, how nice to have Sheldon's site back for browsing such matters. Here's his axle table: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/hub-parts.html#axles Axle threads seem to be either 26 tpi or 1 mm, with a single oddball 24 tpi at the bottom of the list. Axle thicknesses are 9 or 10 mm, plus a few in between at 9.5 mm/ 3/8". The real variation is axle length--110, 137, 141, 146, 147, 158, 155, 174, 180, and 187 mm versions are listed for spacings of 100, 126, 130, 135, 145 mm, and behemoth. CF |

Cheers, Carl Fogel Aha! A quick browse at axles at BikeToolsEtc: http://www.biketoolsetc.com/index.cg...-Axle&tc=Axles or http://tinyurl.com/s8b53 Er, I mean a slow browse--the site suddenly turned into molasses and then developed hiccups. Possibly they were doing site maintenance. Anyway, they sell generic solid axles for $1.95: "Good quality solid axle for repairs." They sell solid axles from Shimano for $7.95: "Genuine Shimano." They sell solid axles from Wheels Manufacturing for $11.95: "Wheels Mfg axles are made from 4130 chromoly steel that is heat treated to increase strength without brittleness. Threads are rolled (not cut) for added strength and ease of assembly. Made in USA." No word on whether the generic and Shimano axles feature rolled or cut threads or are made of tempered 4130 Chromoly steel. BikeToolsEtc also sells hollow axles: http://www.biketoolsetc.com/index.cg...llow-Axle-Sets or http://tinyurl.com/m5vtx The generic hollow axles sell for $4.50, with cones. The Weldtite hollow axles with cones sell for $8.90. Neither the generic nor the Weldtite hollow axles boast about any special qualities. Cheers, Carl Fogel |
