T_Dog Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I need a 150mm long shaft turned with 5 different diameters. (No grooves or tapers.) The challenge is that it needs a 5mm diameter center hole all the way through and my regular guy can't do it. Can anyone recommend a shop & location that might do it? It is for an obsolete bike hub and I can't buy a new hub due to disk brake compatibility. All help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta22 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 there is a workshop at suriwong road . which some good work there . the price wise i am not sure , i made some coffee machine part from them before which cost me about 700b + the metal . . there do have alot of machine there try talking to the guy and see if there can help . but a good drawing and very good explanation is needed . like all thai work shop . the biggest problem is not if there can do it . is if there understand what we want .. so do not assume there know . so do put extra effort making sure there know what you want . if not you might end up paying for a pcs of junk i learn it the Money way .

T_Dog Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 David & Ta... Thank You for the responses. I'll check those out, armed with the broken part and a drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUANO Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I've had a few axles made over here and most seem last longer that the originals. There are a few places on the way out of town I use. Pm if you would like directions, as it's difficult to explain. I also used a place in near Chiang Mai gate the other day and the guy did a great job, He's pretty much opposite the U-turn before Chiang Mai gate (on the outside of the moat).

That sounds like the expertise I need. I sent you a PM. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Dog Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Guano... What do you think about having the new one made up in stainless so it doesn't break again? Here are some photos of it de-shafted from the hub. I rode Doi Suthep one last time on it yesterday as I really needed a ride. Hope Technology makes some darn tough hubs in that they can have a broken spindle and still be ridden with little problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that stainless is any stronger than Hi-ten. Chromoly or titanium would be ideal but expencive and difficult to find here. Maybe you could look at using Hi-ten but putting a bit of extra steel around where it broke. Whether this is possible all depends on how the hub goes together.

I'd suggest a copy-and-paste as I get it wrong myself. I did look at that area to see if more metal could be added but it butts right up against a bearing so no joy there. My only thought on steel was that it resists fatigue failures like this better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Dog Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Thanks all for the help, with special thanks to Guano. Got my new shaft yesterday and popped it in the hub this morning. Took a hard three hour ride and all is good. Sure beats paying loads and waiting weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
