Skyway front axle too wide for ripper and haro forks

(1/3) > >>

adammannering:
Is it a good idea to take a file the axle to slim them down ?

Or take it too a machine shop ?

pickle:
you can dremil them off but leave the nut on so you can recut the end of the threads once you've cut them down by unscrewing the nut  :daumenhoch:

john4130:
put the wheel on the bike and tighten the nuts, hacksaw the end of the axle off leaving about 3-4 threads showing then unscrew the axle nuts to clean the thread. it's a 5 minute job.  :daumenhoch:

adammannering:

adammannering:
