Title: Affix Tiny hub Axle replacement??
Post by: Sink on March 29, 2012, 11:22 AM

Anyone know if the Affix tiny front hub takes a certain axle? After a couple of heavy peg landings looks like i've killed the thread :10_2_12: Is it serviceable or knackered?? :'(

Check it's actually the thread on the axle & not just the nut stripped  :daumenhoch: A lot of hubs are generic, just a slightly different shape & graphics on them so if You do need an axle, strip off the cone nuts, knock the axle out & go to a decent BMX shop & They'll sort You out. Failing that there was some of those hubs on Feebay for £15.

Cheers Fugazi  :daumenhoch: After pulling the old axle out, it's f@@ked, both axle and nuts are stripped and the axle is bent. I bought a new hub from the bay as it will be cheaper to rip apart for the axle, bearing and fittings, than sourcing and buying an axle kit   :daumenhoch:
