AdamR28 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 You should do what he said... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Leave the wheel in, just take out the qr. Loosen put 2 allen keys into the end of the axel. They are imperial size but a normal allen key should be alright. Loosen these using the allen keys. Then with your hand tighten the cone on the non-drive side as tight as you can with your fingers, then do the axel back up tight and it should be fine.

AdamR28 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah, seems strange to use a mix of sizes... the axles are 3/8" too (9.525mm), rather than 10mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah, seems strange to use a mix of sizes... the axles are 3/8" too (9.525mm), rather than 10mm. ← Yeah, same as BMX axles. They're called 3/8, but they sorta are 10mm, but they use metric-size nuts. Why?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
