I was replacing the axle and adjuster cap because theres an issue with the threading on the axle getting squashed and the adjuster cap getting stuck. I had to drill the adjuster cap out as it was stuck. The axle had threading missing and a lot of rust spots.

Welcome to the world of Mavic track wheels. These hubs are so shit it’s unbelievable. I have one that I might be able to dismantle and figure out where you’re going wrong (if you are even going wrong, it really could just be that they are that shit) but it’s at home and I’m in Harrogate at Bespoked right now.

I have a new cap arriving next week. I honestly think the only way it goes in is pressing it in the correct way. I must of been too ham fisted with my first attempts. I will keep updating here until I get there!
