Walleee Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 If a solid axel is breaking, I doubt your idea would be stronger, but it would work to get you 'on the road' again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 why not just turn urself a new one if you can turn one side? could always tap both sides and join witha threaded dowel, lock tight one side up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 depends if you have a rule or a vernier handy really, nothing to hard to turn on the axle, just the threads really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevecoust Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 best thing is to get a chris king maunual off the internet with all the diameters and measurement and turn yourself a stainless hd axle. i did it with a hope xc, and it works a treat.

aener Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Onza Keiron - does that mean you were previously -onza-rider-?Somehow - in past experiance - two people having a similar name doesn't quite make them the same person.Just imagine.... That'd make my grandad the president of the United States of America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 LinkyMachine up a heavy duty axle. I'm pretty sure pottsy could do it. Just don't land gaps on the floor with your wheel at some silly angle. What are you like really? I mean, completely flat floor you land the 6 foot'ish gap with your wheel sideways snapping 3 spokes and your axle in the process.... i told you it was a shit technique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 im not welsh dave....and we are two different people.the point is the axle could be made by a few people on here, but whats the point when its more viable to just buy a hd onefor a start there are bearing surefaces which are hard and have a fine Roughness Average. if there was a faul with the HD axle then it might be worth my while making one without the problems, but as theres no really problem its point less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 The problem with the HD axle is that the pressed-on needle bearing race/serrated end bit cracks and snaps off, due to the way we trials riders tend to land at funny angles. My first HD axle cracked all the way through the needle race, and my second has bits snapped off. It's perfectly ridable if the needle race is fine, but it is sketchy.
