Q&A
- Question: How do I assemble this wheel/axle once I receive it?
-
Installation of wheel on axle:
- Slide lock collars on axle – leave loose, untightened
- Slide wheel on axle (to help determine orientation of the wheel – typically the measurement from the face of the spoke to the end of the hub is longer on the front of the wheel than the back)
- Put the washer on the axle
- Insert the lynch pin in the pre-drilled hole in the axle
- Slide the wheel up against the lynch pin & washer
- Slide the lock collar up to the back of the hub and tighten to keep in place so it is snug but not tight (wheel should spin freely/easily on axle)
