Confessions from the fuckwits

[Dales Cannon]

Been a while so, getting another set of Mr Ts up and running and thought the axle was sweet and correct but noooo. 20mm axle won't fit through the wheel, decide the only way is brute force so I shove the c*** as hard as possible and still does not go through. Next bit is the true fuckwittery, obviously I can't get it out so decide a big old screwdriver and hammer are called for and out she comes. Problem is now the end won't screw back in cause I fucked the first 2 threads. Fuck me

Saffy that is too dumb for this thread.

Please stop buying things that can’t be replaced. What possessed you to try screwdriver and hammer? I know it’s the cusswit thread....but still....

It is, but on further thought it occurred to me that the axle has to be slightly bent for it not to fit through the wheel so it was probably rooted anyway.

Cmon man, it's just old shit anyway. Who cares about old shit.

So what you are saying is advertise the incomplete Mr T on facebook for 500. Seems a good idea.

The famously oiled up hands make sense now

But to carry on about the axle, why would it not fit through the wheel but will go through the dropout, as you can see it goes all the way through the non clamping side so I am assuming it would be 20mm. Axle goes through about 3/4 of the hub from both sides, this happens on 2 wheels.
Does not seem bent and it seems to get stuck from the front if the axle. Weird and freeky

More pics of the work surface. Is that a rug???

Sounds like the bearings in the hub are misaligned if it only goes through 3/4.
If you roll the axle on a flat surface, does it roll smoothly?

Carpet on the garage floor, only pieces because when heavy rain happens it leaks

Have tried 2 wheels and same thing, seems to roll flat, will try properly tomorrow

Looked too abstract for that.

You’re welcome.
Though...if it’s just that, would continue to go flat. Might still have a leak.

Mmm I tightened it and it's maintained pressure. I will get round to checking that!

@safreek can you put the axle through the just the hub, without the fork? Maybe your fork leg is twisted or bent?
