Post subject: | CCM Rear Wheel Nut 30mm - Why?? |
Hello all, I am a newbie waiting for my first ride. Please Bear Wiv I am in the process of getting my essential together after the recent purchase of my CCM 404 DS I fancied the Motion Pro tyre levers with the spanner on the end, thinking I could save some space and weight. I see that my back wheel has a 30mil nut on the back. This does not appear to be a standard size and I cant get these levers. The guy at the store said this was a unique feature of my bike. He knows of some people who had a new nut machined to a standard size, but also said the axle may share the same diameter as another bike but use a standard size nut. Thereby solving the issue. What would you guys recommend (do not say sell the bike!!!)? Cheers Craig |

Greetings Craig, Might I suggest that you 'phone or write to CCM and ask their advice as they may have come across this problem before. Here is their internet link; http://www.ccm-motorcycles.com TTFN Hugh. |

I just carry a robust 'shorty' adjustable spanner. If you need to get the back wheel out away from base you either put your boot on it or hit it with a rock. |

Motion pro sell a 1/2 inch drive adaptor for the alloy lever. Get one of them and a 30mm socket. |

Buy a 30mm spanner Then cut it and weld the ring section of it to a tyre lever. |

Hi Craig, Very impressed that you're thinking these details through before you've even had your first ride! I wouldn't overthink this one too much, the CCM is a fairly heavy bike and the weight of the tools won't make much difference to the all up weight. How about a 30mm box spanner and a tommy bar? reasonably light, cheap and it can act as as sleeve to put your tyre levers in. Bob |

Greetings, I think I've figured it out as to why 30mm You have a puncture so you call the AA or RAC AA or RAC turn up with a Ford Transit Van Ford Transit vans have 30mm sized wheel nuts, so the van has a wheel brace and therefore you do n't need to carry one Simples, they think of everything TTFN Hugh. |

Or....get a massive adjustable spanner and grind the handle end Into a tyre lever....will also undo any bolt under 30mm as well then...Dragons Den ?... |

I'd recommend buying a bike or brand which everybody else rides, that way there is a pool of knowledge, parts and tools. |
