Where to buy 10mm speed rings?

mmaner · June 21, 2020, 8:58pm

That’s what I typically use, I’m waiting in a stainless 2mm tall speed ring for 10mm and 12mm axles. I have a massive amount of 8mm stainless speed rings already.

Damn yup. 16mm OD. This is all I’ve got. Apologies

When I need specific thicknesses I use this method to make shims out of ordinary washers in a pinch

@kevingraehl that’s a great idea, using the bolt like that. I always just use my thumb on a file. Maybe using the bolt like that on griptape I can really thin down washers

Sadly too big! That is 12mm ID @NullBlox

NullBlox · June 22, 2020, 3:36am

FML, well I tried…
Im would like to think they have the ID you need or no?
I use those for my Matrix II Trucks.

Wow, the 8mm version of that looks awesome, going to try them. Thanks for that link

edit: THESE ARE TOO SMALL, DON’T BUY THEM

they are like 7.94mm and do not fit on axles

@b264 yes. I learnt from McMaster Carr that it’s normal. Washers are stated with a full number but are usually very slightly under if you do no go for a custom order. Machinery isn’t precisely calibrated to the micron on mass production. Sorry, I tried.

Possible you could place a stack in a lathe and remove the wee bit of extra?

Dude you have weird washers in the US. In Europe if you order an 8mm washer you can be assured that it goes on an 8mm shaft.

It’s the USA — they probably don’t even know what a millimeter is, voted for Donald Trump, and bought the newest iPhone.

This is European 11mm, not those American K00k measurements. But still not the 10 you wanted, and shipping to US is silly for something worth a penny.

Good luck!

b264 · June 26, 2020, 4:56am

10mm is the inside diameter needed

BearBoi · June 26, 2020, 5:02am

Oopsies. Then these are tiny 7mm.

There are worst things than living in the only region of the Solar system where imperial is used… you should come to California and see the liberal mayhem they just created over here

Not sure if this is helpful but I bought this build from my buddy @Skyart he’s using plastic O-rings, Genius thought I’d share.
