  1. Do these exist? I'm gonna be building up a coaster-brakin' road bike,
    and while I know the track nuts wouldn't be absolutely necessary, it
    seems like they'd be, well, nicer.

    From what I could gather about threads, it looks like coaster brake
    axles typically have a diameter and pitch different from any of the
    more high end hubs that would typically use track nuts.

    Anyway, the hub in question is a Shimano 333. If anyone knows the
    threading on it and/or where I could get track nuts, holla at me.

    Thanks for the plug, but coaster brakes generally use 24 tpi threading,
    and I have no source for track nuts in that pitch.

    The next best thing is to use plain nuts with separate serrated washers.
