ilikeriding Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 The rear wheel keeps moving because the cones are loose?, or have you threaded the bolts on the hub?, what hub is it?.If youre not sure it would be a good idea to take it to your local bike shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty boi Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Everytime i try tighten the wheel the bolts keep turning without tightening because the middele bit where the bolt screws into the hub is loose, how can i fix it?thanks.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Roach Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Pictures might explain more, sounds like the axle is loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt rushton Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Get some pliers and hold the white bit while you tighten your bolt up.Matt Rushton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Using Zhi cams? The bolts does need to be tight. Mine falls off. what you need to is file (with a round file) the hole out. SO the axels fit into the hole. then it should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 That is just a spacer it doesn't affect the axel or the tightening up of the bolts at all. Get a allen key on each bolt and do them up tight.When you do the bolts up do they just keep turning and not tighten? if so i think you have striped the threads in the axel. First make sure the threads on the bolts are fine and it isn't them that is stripped. If they are fine you need a new axel, i should think you will be able to get one. Try clean bikes.

Walleee Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) you have it round the wrong way.... the larger diameter end should be against the hub, the smaller at the cam or frame or whatever.Edit.Those white bits that i've said are round the wrong way and you have pointed out should have small alen bolt's in them, tighten them up so they move with the axel. make sure they are against your hub before tightening though. Other than that I don't know what to suggest as long as your axel's not snapped or anything like that.
