Axles for Fixed Gear (picture)

Matt,

No, I haven't tried that. I guess that it could work if one really took care in how they did it. However, replacing a damaged pant would be a little more of a problem.

    Reeves,

    The pant is held to the strut with a single 4-40 screw. I install a lite ply plate on the inside of the pant. When using the klett axle, I cut a hex hole through the pant and ply doubler so that the pant is flush to the strut. Then, with the pant and axle in place and aligned, I drill through the strut into the pant/doubler. Use a t-nut on the back side of the plate. The 4-40 screw is located directly above the axle (about 3/8" center-of-axle to center- of-screw). Of course, you need to be sure the 4-40 screw doesn't protrude too far into the pant so as to grab the wheel.

    Cheers,

    Ken Blackwell



  Hey Kenny,

  For what it's worth, have you tried to simply glue the pant onto the gear?
