this topic had disappeared so here it is again.
After cleaning the axle I cut a M10x1.25 thread into it

Found 11mm rubber plugs in a bicycle store (these are to close the holes in the fork if the cantilever brake studs are removed i.e. because of the use of a hydraulic brake)




The axle is 13mm



Kept looking for something better looking and found 13mm aluminium plugs from a bicycle shop made for the same purpose. Perfect fit and the axle nut goes over it.







Spent €6 on some cheap crash bobbins/rear paddock stand adapters just to try. These came with a conical spacer which fits perfectly on the axle. The disadvantage is you can only use them as protection or for lifting the bike. If you need to get to the axle nut or remove the wheel they have to be removed and a different rear paddock stand will be necessary so it doesn`t really make that much sense using these. On the other side they are easily mounted and removed. (I just wouldn`t use black oxided bolts like the ones these parts came with)
