    Track nuts on this bike the track nuts seem to be too long for the axles / axles to short for the track nuts I am having a similar trouble with a current wheel / bike build and wanted to know how much track nut is enough on the axle ? Ideally the axle should poke right through the nuts should i change my axle ( pain in the ass ) or have my track nuts break and wheel come loose ( pain in the ass but in a different way )

  • Change the axle, when you twist the nuts out of the rears, the pressure is divided amongst a smaller ammount of thread and the chances of stripping it are greater.
    I would immagine that it will fail when you tighten it, and not so much on the road though.
