Throttled Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 What do you call the rubber cover that goes over the spindle nut to protect it? Mine have both gone AWOL, which I noticed cleaning my bike yesterday. The covers just popped on and off, they were not secured in any way and they may not be rubber, but they are soft like rubber. And they are black.http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7068/6909717115_7fcc13b8d0_o.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7186/6909729375_22996e3fee_o.jpgI cannot find anything remotely like them searching on the internet, but it may help if I knew what to call them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Or you could put crash sliders/spindle protectors on there....possibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonniebird Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Probably is called a spindle cover or protector or hub nut cover. Can't find anything on Google though - sorry. Think the aftermarket protectors or sliders look good and not too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Looks like it is a trip to the dealers and point at the problem. This is with the cover missinghttp://farm8.staticflickr.com/7205/6911911057_aac883ff01_o.jpgI really thought loads of bikes had them and this would not be a problem. My YBR had them to cover its nuts PS chain lubed after I took photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Never had a bike with wheel spindle nut covers and the all worked perfectly well, don't sweat the petty things Are you sure your trying to rat this bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yes, but underneath all of the crud I want a bike that is not wrecked. Scruffy second hand covers would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
