    Default Need help finding a source for 5/8” OD straight BB spindle

    I am restoring a vintage MTB and need help finding a source for 5/8” OD spindle (length 110mm) for an old press bit BB. Does anyone know if these spindles are still made or where I may be able to find one in a dark corner?

    Phil Wood makes 17mm spindles. Might not work with the bearings already in the frame, but they have those, too.

    hi

    take a lathe with a fixed centre in the headstock, rotating one in the tailstock and turn a phil axle down in size ?

    might be an option if you can't find anything else to work ?

    Jack Whitmere of Cooks Brothers still has a couple 5 gallon buckets full of spindles, he isn't selling them cheap though. Give him a call.
