hi
who jumps not big jumps with 12mm Axles with an agb29??

 

[CRANKIN]

The axle will bend, even if the jump is small. I bent mine on a whooped out track. The best thing is to convert it to 15mm. best of luck

 

[sik-pj]

can i put an 15mm on my stock rims? or do i need to buy other ones

 

[CRANKIN]

You need to get bearings that have a 15mm inside diameter and the same outside out side as the old bearings. I got a new hub/rim setup because of this.

I DID FIND BEARINGS TO MATCH BUT BROKE THE HUB. there not very strong

 

[mad man]

wot about 12mm axle but a very stong quallity one????????????????????????????????????

Sik, I ordered better quality 12mm bolts for my 29s. They work alot better. Go to a local fastner company, give them the specs. and tell them you want a better grade. I stayed with the 12mm so I would not have to change bearings front and rear, also did not want to run into clearance issues where the front axle goes through the forks...they ended up costing me about 2.50 each. Well worth it, we have not bent an axle yet.

Shit, any local bolt store should be able to get them in high tensile for like $3 or $4 each
