axle position on new build ???

(1/1)

HARORIDER:
never really thought of this but is there a "set" position for the axle to sit in the rear drop out of a new old school build ??? i normally tend to set them central??

brummie:
i have wondered this paul, i tend to put it central as well. dont tighten until you put the chain on though as you may need to creep it back or forwards a touch and you dont wanna mark it up

Happy Easter mate by the way :daumenhoch:

subversion:
Some people like is slammed all the way in as they prefer a shorter back end (oo-er missus)

I would say see how your install with the chain goes & if your not happy with the position use a 1/2 link.... :daumenhoch:

there ain't no rules, this is freestyle after all ;)




isn't it.....?

snav69:
We used to always slam it or as close as so we can adjust the wheel back when the chain stretches  ;)
