andreas17777 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 The bike shop was building my MTB yesterday and when i went to fetch it, they put a normal skewer on my thru axle back wheel. Is it safe to ride like this? or should i get a thru axle skewer?
Flowta Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 First impulse is to say no. Is the frame also a thru-axle? Pics?
andreas17777 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Yes I have a Swift carbon d-vore, and it is a thru axle frame.
Flowta Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Yes I have a Swift carbon d-vore, and it is a thru axle frame. Then they/you must use a thru-axle. Not on for them to use normal QR M L 1
NINER_boy Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Don't ride like that. You HAVE TO HAVE the thru axle
M L Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I wouldn't return my bike to a shop that would put a skewer on, instead of a TA and think it's ok.
Vanzyl Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 The new swift D-vore has the option to be either QR or thru- axle......
droo Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 The Hub speaks with one voice. This is weird. It speaks the truth though. Also, I'd suggest having a word with the owner of the LBS. He may need to tar and feather one of his mechanics.
