Of course we did, one we didn't want the wheel to move and two, did anybody honestly think that BMX's would be collectable in any way?  Of course we didn't.

 :LolLolLolLol:....I love that!! haha

But yeah, pretty guilty of that one too......tug of war with your mate to get the wheel back and smash the hell outta the dropouts with the longest spanner you could get lol.  I pretty much murdered my burner dropouts as a kid, to the point where it was a mission to get the wheel off lol.

Think u will find that washers were never used bitd cos the nuts were serated so they gripped the frame . Hence the foooked drops. Hence all thye pooe con drops . Plus washer were a weight issue  :LolLolLolLol:

never used washers, peregrine axles were so short if you used washers there wouldnt be enough axle left to fit your pegs :2funny: :2funny:
