Oh I put the lock nut in a vice and got a pipe wrench. I got it all with damaging the parts I needed. Just need a new cow washer as mine looks shitty from having a hub guard on it.

The cult axle for their mix version hub is the same as the remix female apparently.

its a $30 dollar stem. you always get what you pay for

price isn't a consideration, a product should work as it is designed to.

I might not design it to work perfectly if it was cheaper not to.

I need one for my mix hub. The non drive side obviously.

Hit me up you have one. I'll give you some dollars or trade something you might need.

My axle isn't broached and the non drive side bent and that's why I figured it stripped. Since it's stripped I can't do the suggested. I would've already done that anyways if I could've.

The fuck do I get my driver locknut off? Sitting here with a pair of vice grips on the axle, sprayed a little wd40 on it, and tried to do sudden snaps with my wrench. The vice grips slip on the axle before that nut budges.

Trying to put a cult female axle in my mix.

To translate those tests into real world terms would be sweet to see on a fork card.

We don't recommend riding these 4 years if you're doing gaps to wallrides and big 180s.

So the stampy put out x to compromise whatever fork, there should be a fucking trade in. Had these forks for 1/2x get a rebate or 3x get 1/2 rebate.

My forks seem solid, but they've been there for 4.5 years of weekend warrioring. It's time to replace them as: theoretical x < experimental x. When Lx=Ex death seems next.

The amount of people who said   "Ahhhhh my back, I need big bars."

Everyone knows the truth is no one wants to be left out because they have 8.5" or smaller.
