What did you do to your bike today? (v2)
Bunky:
I left 5mm sticking out the end past the cone nut, so it would sit in the dropout. I thought about cutting it flush and using a Blue6 chromo bolt with the shoulder, but decided to use the volcano bolt since it's 6mm.

Do think it would be possible to cut both ends flush with the locknuts, tap both ends for the bolts, and then use the hub in a 3/8ths dropout frame? I just got a new flatland frame and the dropouts are 3/8th.
Rusty:
Hit my bike with the rattlecan. Regretful...

I don't see why not. As long as you mark the axle well for where the cone nuts stop and then cut it nice and straight, that shouldn't be a problem.

Cool, I think I might give it a try. What size tap would you use for g sport bolts?
