vongar_kuu Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 At the moment, im having to run a rear 10mm axle in a 14mm dropout. I've got some chaintugs running on it as well until i find some 10mm > 14mm conversion bolts. Anyone think i'll have/cause problems in the short term? Week or so until i get the conversion bolts.

Tom Booth Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 http://www.bmxcity.c...nd05mpcue898lv4 I'm sure you'll be able to do something with those? EDIT: Just re-read the last line, I personally wouldn't risk it. My rear wheel decided to come out on a gap a while ago and it smarts. Stupid quick release.

Revolver Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 DMR used to make 14mm chain tugs that had an extra washer in to fit 10mm axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt jumper jake Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 DMR used to make 14mm chain tugs that had an extra washer in to fit 10mm axles. They still do, i think they only come with the transition frames though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I used to have some which I bought seperately. I got them from a bike shop in town though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vongar_kuu Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 The wheels not going anywhere and the chain will stop it coming outright anyway. Found these http://www.evanscycles.com/products/primo/andys-nuts-axle-converters-ec008959 Any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the chain will stop it. but the wheel will move right back nd your chain will snap. your wheel will be goin all over the place.
