Matthew_Gibson Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 (edited) I have stripped the threads in the little nut that goes on the end of the QR. I have a hope now, but the qr seems to be bent. 2 reasons to get a new one! I was having a quick look on wiggle and they have a nice looking X-lite, i was wondering has anyone got, or used one before. Are they any good? Should I stick with a hope?

the judge Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 (edited) or skip having a skewer, tap you axle and run bolts I've got the bolts + I'm gonna tap mine. Just wondering for when I've done it; do I tighten them as hard as I can or will they snap? or do I just do them quite tight? (the bolts are the ones from tartybikes btw) I know it's a bit of a silly question but 4bolts you just do quite tight whereas crank bolts you do up really tight without them snapping.

chrishayton Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 yeh shimano ones are by far the best i have used, you can actually get them tight, and suprisingly get them off again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
