Is it possible to get a replacement axle for a BLB track hub? I sent BLB an email but I haven't heard back yet. Or, is it possible to replace the axle with another non-BLB axle? Just wondered if anyone might know off hand.

Ok, cool. Either way is the axle replaceable?

Yes, any standard solid 100mm front axle will do. I think Halfords sell them but any bike shop will.

If you are not sure, remove the axle nuts, then the cones (you'll need a pair of very flat 'cone' spanners) and remove the axle and take it with you.

fyi, it has sealed bearings, axle is specific, you're talking about unsealed hub.

Fair enough, you should still be able to remove the axle.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
