That's okay, the Mrs has been commenting on my sidewalls recently as well, it's been a gluttonous Christmas.

So! Anyone have any experience with these Through-Axles? Curiosity got the better of me and I took the front wheel off, upon putting it back on its definitely not as tight as it was, but I've only got a quarter turn on the axle to work with No play on the wheel or anything, but the lever just feels like it doesnt have as much resistance as it did before!

Any ideas?

Just as well, we've seen what you can do to a kaffenback.

Not much experience I'm afraid but I got 'em on my Giant Anthem. There's an adjuster on the threaded side that can be moved to determine the point the QR is tight. Not sure if you have anything like this?

 

[mythste]

Appreciate that! I did find the adjuster on the end - I got confused as I thought the adjuster on the end was as tight as it could be but it was actually threaded backwards so it was technically as loose as it could be.

Panic Over!

Glad you got it sorted. Lovely bike BTW, most envious! Enjoy

This post made me smile.

I have promised myself no more buying bikes this year. But look what I have been looking at since before Christmas,
