interesting...
Wow, that's quite the find! I had no idea those were called "bobbins" nor did I know that they were supposed to spin freely. I've always just assumed that they were stamped in and solid.
I'm off tomorrow and will be checking those. Thank you for that. Rep on the way.

Brits call any type of spool a bobbin. Our rear spools are also called bobbins.

Bobbins sounds like something in your mum's sewing machine or a girl's hair.
Looks like a clamped in press fit stud to me. (make grunting noises)

Anyone try this already? I'm wondering what size bolt was used. I've bought two sizes out of bulk and still haven't found one small enough. Any smaller and I'm looking at having to buy boxes than individual out of bulk bins.
I picked up a metric bolt & nut from my local ACE Hardware, I think it was 20-30 cents.
If memory serves, it was (a metric size) just smaller than a 1/4" standard bolt.
Ace Hardware had all these little bins and boxes where you could search through them and find exactly what you needed. Moreover they had all these little guides and measuring templates so you could test the size before purchase.
Is there an ACE Hardware near you??
look up there!!!! lol
we had them in stock here at work, think it was about 30-40mm length
interesting, so you just have to make sure they slide in-out a bit

Ah. I'm observant. :zombie:I bought a couple new sizes that should hopefully work.
no no and no! just grab a big can of brake cleaner, you don't need to "lube" them, just clean out road gunk.
Oh yeah duh, forgot it's also a lubricant. Thanks.
