Yeah, just take the fun bolt all the way out on the mech side..

edit: when you put the wheel back in, sit on the frame put push it in the drop outs and tighten it (Y)

as for the crushed axle end, a big chunk of mine has snapped out off my hd axle, it's ok though, but not covered by warrenty.

I grind with the tyre on ;) Just hold it back with one hand, have to watch your wrists though :mellow:

Oh my god.. for your own safety and so that i can sleep at night. Please take you tyre off in future and do it properly.

its just that if i unscrew it so the all the thread is still in the axle i cant remove the wheel because how fat the bolt head is.the threaded part of the bolt is way fatter than the width of the drop out.its a total arse this one. :blink:

I don't see any problem... I just screw bolt in with tensioner on a bolt already and then just put wheel to the frame. This is the problem with which you are struggling?

You can always set wheel in dropouts... just takes a bit more time... Filing isn't solution imo.

so instead of mounting the tensioner on the dropout you mount it on the fun bolt itself?

i think there is a bit of confusion and he thinks you have a fresh products style tensioner.

but with a rohloff, yeah unfortunately i think you just have to keep undoing your tensioner. A hassle, but its only one bolts and when you have set it up once, it will only need bolting on again and it will be in the right position. looseing and tighting a bolt doesn't take that long, does it?

Yeah, at least use your foot wink3.gif

Hell thats what the frames for, holds the wheel good and proper :D I have to admit that i grind the same way, let the tyre down, hold it back and grind the rim. :$

Though i have found if i grind a rim without a tyre on thats not in my frame i still only hold the grinder with one hand.... i'm too clumsy with two. :(
