Trouble with my front wheel and axle
« on: June 10, 2022, 09:33:44 AM »
I checked the downloadable maintenance available here but don't see a good pic of the front wheel assembly. When I am putting my front wheel back together the axel is not setting flush with the forks. It sticks out about an inch, that just doesn't seem right. anyone have a front wheel axel assembly diagram?
