The common issue with most track nuts is that the thread starts too far from the flange leading to poor engagement on wheels where axle length is an issue due to the frame. In the constant search for perfection, Runwell developed the Elite Hub Nut to solve a few issues which they've done with the following,
- Better thread engagement
- Increased durability
- Increased engagement with head of the wrench
- Low stack height whilst maintaining a very high thread count
The Elite Hub Nuts were originally designed to interface perfectly with a Runwell Drip15, Aqualia15 or Vatto15, which share a common 10mm head depth. The Elite Hub Nut is one of the lowest weight track nuts on the market, and provides what we believe is the most amount of thread purchase of a commercially available aftermarket Track Nut. This is achieved by designing the thread interface to begin at the lowest point possible meaning you need less material for more thread purchase.
These nuts have been made with a corrosion resistant coating, however if left in the weather may degrade over time. We recommend lubricating these nuts often with Inox MX3 or a similar lubricant with corrosion resistant properties. Failure to coat these nuts (and many others on the market) will lead to rusting and discolouration over time.
COMPATIBILITY
M9 & M10 - Suits FFWD, Corima, Shimano Dura-Ace, Novatec (Most), Gran-Compe, DT Swiss, Mavic (Some - but not all), Velocity and many more.
Campagnolo - Pista, Ghibli and Track Hubs - Use Groove M10x26TPI. These suit rear wheels only. The "Groove" nut will only suit Italian Threaded hubs with an M10x26TPI Thread pitch. These are commonly found on Campy, Some Miche and a handful of Italian hubs. If you're unsure around this please contact us
Mavic Ellipse - Use M9 for Front and Rear as they share a common thread.

HOW TO MEASURE THREADS
Measuring threads isn't difficult if you have a vernier caliper or a thread gauge. These two videos will give you a comprehensive understanding of how to use these respective tools correctly to identify your threads.

ADDITIONAL INFO
If you have 3/8" Imperial threads which measure approximately 9.5mm these will not work. You will need to stick with a generic 3/8" Nut. We have seen some of these used on Suzue Pro-Max, Quando, and many unbranded hubs.
