Any interest in a spare nut for a Iplay 12x142 rear axle?

[outriding9800]

i did not like the one that came with my IP-057 frame it was a loose fit. I made up two of them already. (one for me)..

I imagine they are the same as the ip-256 frame.

Any interest in them? if there is i can make up more of them.

I can also do front axles also but dont currently have aluminum that size.

I am pricing them at $5 + shipping

Note i am not a professional machinist

I made a few of these a while back. They turned out well despite my best efforts. 

I just can't justify selling them at any reasonable price that covers my time, unfortunately ( since I need to take time out of my work day to sneak down to the machine shop).  This is a great deal and I would have bought one of these if you'd had them when I originally lost mine.  Good work.

Side note: add a chamfer to it to make for a more finished look. The chamfer also helped mine sit more flat against the dropout since the dropout has a small radius to it on the inside.  At least on my 256 it did.

VIP,

Thx for the advice and that is something i can do..

Can you post the weight of one also?

[Vipassana]

I think mine was under 5 grams or right around there.  Made from aluminum, it should be negligible weight-wise.

i have a gram scale at home (harbor freight version) and can weight it later tonight.. but it is pretty light..

Follow on question would be for Vipassana, do you find that the new one stays on better.
It seems a couple of people have lost the nut of their iPlay thru-axle.

[Vipassana]

Well, I lost my first one (the iPlay one) on my very first ride (long ride, not around the block) and I suspect it was due to me not tightening the rear axle enough after removing the wheel to apply the paint protection tape.

The one I made has stayed put now for well over 400 miles.  The advantage to the new one is you can actually use the set screw on the side of the dropout to hold the nut in place as well.  If it did come loose for some reason, with the set screw there, it will not fall out onto the trail.  See the pictures in the original post.  The iPlay nut was too small to make this set screw functional.

on my scale the original nut is 5grams.. the new one goes between 6 and 7 grams... it is a bit bigger to fit in the hole in the dropout...

I'll take two. How do I pay?

[outriding9800]

I only made one spare.  I will make another one later this week. Maybe weds or thursday and ship the next day via

Usps.  I will im my email and you can paypal it to me. I  am not sure of shipping probably the smallest flat rate usps has

[outriding9800]

I'll take one. Mine never felt secure to me for some reason.. I like the idea of being able to utilize the set screw.
