Martin Reynolds Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 the axle is 10mm and the dropouts are 9mm. You just have to file your axle down to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsiain Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 how do i knock axle out of echo tr disc hub? smack it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yup. You dont need to file it square, as long as you get your rim sitting central in your forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsiain Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 o Yup. You dont need to file it square, as long as you get your rim sitting central in your forks. ok but can i make it square edges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I doubt it. I put a bolt in one end of the axle, tightened it up, and used an allen key to spin the axle as i held a file to the end to file it down. I've got the SL hub, where one side is keyed, so on that side i just filed down each side so it fits the dropout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsiain Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 can anyone help. see how the steerer is threaded instead of star nut what if you need to cut it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I didn't need to cut mine down, it worked out fine with the stackers and stem I had. But if you do, cut it, it'll be fine. The threads extend fairly far down into the steerer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Cut it neatly and squarely and file the end and it'll be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
