Hey Guys,
Sorry to bother you.
Did a search on axles and just found one about pretty much the same thing but for Phil a phil hub. Was an old thread so thought i'd start fresh.
Have just been doing the usual maintenance, Tightening chain up by pulling the rear wheel back. I Couldn't get the rear wheel off due one of the nuts being too tight. Anyway with an array of tools i got it off in the end. and I seem to have ruined the threads on the axle. I'd noticed it being hard to loosen before but felt i should just tighten it up as tight as poss so it didnt come loose when riding and my chain stayed nice and tight.
Is this easy to fix?? Can i Just get a replacement? Has anyone else had this problem or am i being a total Idiot?
Guess i will be getting the Tube tomorrow :( boo hoo.
Thanks
Ross
