Passed along my cook bros. racing bmx bike to my son about 5 years ago. The chain keeps coming off because threads in the axle are stripped and it wont stay tight. I brought the wheel to a local bike shop because I have no idea where to find an axle for a 30+ year old bike and figured it probably wont be that expensive. They suggested a new wheel @50 bucks because it would be cheaper than a repair but I insisted I wanted to keep everything original. I said I dont really care what it cost. He said to leave it for a week so he can look around for a part and I would receive a call.
Question is, if I get a call saying no part is available where do I look for an axle on a 30+ year old bmx bike?
