B1cyk1ll3r Posted January 27, 2016 Share Could someone please explain how to remove this wheel? Forgive me, never worked with anything like this! Im still new and learning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted January 27, 2016 Share Not sure but from the looks of the first picture you stick an allen key in the centre shaft and loosen the lock nut on the outside and then the nut on the non drive side should be loose, Remove it and i would guess the shaft slides?screws out? If someone who has this system can give you more info that would be better but if not try the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JXV Posted January 27, 2016 Share Google 'Syntace X12 axle system' and all will be revealed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerouc Posted January 27, 2016 Share Not abnormal, just a never system, instead of having an arm for the release you do it with a alankey, all the pro's ride like that, lighter as no extra metal for the arm i guess. But yes you need your multitool to remove. Seen it a few times at the world cup races. Also no kid can walk past your bike and take your wheel out without a tool. Hear that people have stolen thru-axles at races before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted January 27, 2016 Share Thanks! So this is a abnormal system? Haha sorry, its a Morewood. I wouldn't say abnormal, Just because I haven't seen it before doesn't mean its rare. You say its a morewood, They usually DH and trail bikes? maybe a standard skewer system isn't strong enough for the extra stresses the a DH bike goes through.

Hear that people have stolen thru-axles at races before.Correct, It happened recently at one of the popular stage races. I think there was still a thread about it because one guy had a broken seat clamp or something and one guy had the stolen axle. He lent his clamp to the other guy because he couldn't get a new axle.(cant remember exactly if that's how it went) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted January 27, 2016 Share It looks to me like its working on a similar concept to the old hubs with unsealed ball bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 27, 2016 Share It looks to me like its working on a similar concept to the old hubs with unsealed ball bearings.no. Very far off the mark. It's simply a 12mm thru axle with an allen key head rather than a lever. Used to aid clearance in tight, rocky spaces, and to prevent people from just whipping them off. Has nothing to do with the types of bearing in the hub, though normally the thru axle hubs run on sealed bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to magafter a 12mm threaded rod (bolt) with a ny-lock nut to get it running again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
