Title: 14mm axles question.
Post by: aditup2004 on March 04, 2006, 11:54 AM: Do ALL 14mm axles have the "flat cut outs" so they can be fitted into 3/8" dropouts, or am I spouting poo again? :LolLolLolLol: Thanks, Ad

Post by: aditup2004 on March 04, 2006, 06:32 PM: Thanks for the feedback Guys, but, back to the question, the answer is no, as not ALL 14mm hubs have the flat spots, just some of them. Is this right? Thanks again, Ad
