will4eva7k Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) i've recently found out the axle of my rear Echo fixed hub had snapped i think i've been riding with that snapped axle for quite some time now... i've tried searching but had no luck i know these hubs are shit, and so are their axles but does anyone know where i can get a new axle? i dont have enough money yet to buy a new hub and i cant ride my stock anymore! any help would be very appreciated thanks in advance guys Edited November 10, 2005 by will4eva7k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 If you can't get a new spare one I suggest getting edd potts to make you one. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 i rode with a broken front axle for around half a year. it was snaped in two places, right next to each cone. :lol: anyway, one day i was hopping a gap landed a little heavey the q/r snapped and i went dooooown. (Y) would'nt be as bad on the back i guess but i guess it wont last anyway near as long, try getting a new one as quick as possible, try your lbs (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip-Mod Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Heya mate, i had the same problem, but mine snapped after three days riding. Fortunatley i had an old echo hub, and i swapped the axles around and it worked fine. If you can, take the sealed bearings and the axle out, and use one out of another echo hub. Here is the cheapest echo hub iv seen so far, saves you having to rebuild your wheel http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Echo-fixed-rear-hub-...1QQcmdZViewItem Hope this helps , Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
