If I understand you need the MTB axle bolt. Go to the bike shop and see if they have one or go to the junk yard or scrap metal recycling yard and pull one off a dead bike. I have several in my garage that are just parts donors. If you like I could pull one for you.
this is true and it maybe the way I go since I'm not having much luck with the whole shooting match. but the china bike taught me patience if nothing else.
Some things use funny threads that you can't find just anywhere. I know model airplane glow plugs are a thread that has only been used in that (glow plug) application since the second world war. It's not used on anything else but the plugs....go figure.
Now a little lesson here deacon- tell everybody how you know what thread things are.

Me personally I take them to the home depot and use their thread gauge. If I really worked a lot I would have one of my own. I guess you could count them since at least american threads are number per inch.
Realistically take it to home depot. They have gauges that are both male and female so you can match up nuts and bolts as well. However in the case of the mountain bike, it was stamped on the peg. It seems that in the american standard the most used sizes are 20 and 24 or even 32. Or as my dad used to call them coarse and fine threads the 24 being fine. I think most of what is found on bikes are fine threads. Most of what you buy over the counter to build with are coarse. However Home depot has both 20 and 24 readily available but no "26" Like joe said I would need to get and axle and cut it off. Not worth the effort I think. Still haven't decided on that one yet.
With my tap and die set there is a little tool called a pitch guage that is what I use to measure the threads per inch or threads per mm if it metric and I have a metric tap and die set with the magic little pitch guage.
You can use a ruler to measure the threads per inch or threads per mm if it metric.
Did I answer the question correctly?
Now for a not so serious question. how fast is the speed of time?
