Mr_Unbalanced Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi there, I have just bought a new Onza pro on the internet and I am not able to get the front wheel on as it seems the axel is too short. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to solve it or has there been a mistake and Ihave been given the wrong axel? thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 what forks and hub do you have? seems unusual if it was a trial specific item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 How big a difference are we talking? Pretty much all front forks/wheels from road bikes to mountain bikes to trials bikes are the same dropout spacing. It's not unusual for the bolts to pinch the fork legs in slightly onto the hubs but if it's a big difference something's wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Have you got the axle bolts and washers? The Pro front wheel uses a couple of bolts with some washers to do the front wheel up. The 'axle' just sits inside the dropouts, it shouldn't stick out of them at all. You should have a pair of things that look like these: And a pair of bolts that'd look sort of like these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
