HANG ON BEFORE YOU FILE ANYTHING
are these the new school graphites you were on about, if so just take the allen head axle bolts out, put the wheel in place in the forks and then put the allen head axle bolts in with the correct washers that should have come with them  :daumenhoch:

griff:
Thanks guys

no flat spots on the axles - they're just threaded all the way along, thought I'd be ok with 10mm axles  ::)
are there different axles available for NS tuffs as well as this type?

as brettypeeps said they're also a bit on the long side!

my toolkit's not really up to the job, plus tbh I'm a bit nervous about fooking up a brand new wheel
dave if you fancy giving me a hand sometime I'd be very grateful  :daumenhoch:

cheers

HUTCHMAN:

no mate they're regular black tuffs - the guy selling graphites relisted em for 175 quid!
the axles don't have allen heads in them, just a bolt and washer - need to get some more washers too to space em out a bit methinks

don't worry I'm not going to file anything! (no file for a start  ;D )

cheers
