Azarathal Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 If its horizontal dropouts then you'll be needing bolts, a skewer simply wont have enough grab to keep the wheel in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Get the HD axle, the standard one is shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it´s hexagonal only at the very end,but I´m not sure so you have to check it out yourself.Or as revolver said,hd axle is stronger that´s for sure,so it most likely would be worth the investment.

Mike Beck Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Cheers lads I'll probably tap it out for now until I can buy a gd axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
