    Built by desert nomads that roamed from dawn 'till dusk?

    Any advance on the box, nice though it is...

    havin problems with the thru axle on this bike, its very nice tho, good value for money at £765, but thru axle is stuck within the hub...

    Perhaps it's just on tight...? Frozen on...? Perhaps it's just stone broke...

    Fix it Si...

    Are you sure you're doing it the right way?
    It's nowhere similar to Qr, ok a bit.

    Rule No.1
    Don't let anyone fix/ adjust your bike, unless is a qualified bike mechanic.

    yh ino its nt the same as Qr, But the outer tube is the stiff bit, the actual axle which is like the Qr bit is fine
