  • It's dead easy to do the axle.

    On a Hed3? It is with the old steel ones. The newer aluminium ones are more of a pain, you have to replace the axle and the bearing holders, either custom like mine or assemble various mixed OTP parts like @Scilly.Suffolk did.

  • Can you tell from looking whether it is the easy variety? Mine doesn't have the bearing covers that scilly.suffolk seems to have...

  • That's a steel axle, it's easy to tap. Just run an M6 tap into each end and get some suitable screws and washers.

  • Does this image posted from my android phone?

    Would be cool if the server would let me upload from phone.
    Will lost from laptop later.

    New bearing in, runs smooth. And that's my tapped axle.

    Also not much clearance on the hed ! The stickers are maybe .5mm thick, so they'll be a nice indicator if it's rubbing under power, if they rub off!
