Everybody went to the Tresrey hexes on the 210 and 410 because the pin was loose in the axle and would often fall out during a wheel change (for one reason anyway), but the roll pin on the BMAX isn't loose, so this isn't a bad option for those wanting to re-use their Durango wheels.
Nice work Rich.  |
indeed, there is plenty of axle hanging out, same as with the standard wheels i believe. One other thing i have done on the bmax is to use serrated nuts as i found the standard ones were loosening off after some use, maybe because of the plastic hexes. I may get the alloy durango ones.
