Can I put pegs on front wheel, 2009 Freestyler

The axles don't look long enough to put pegs on, how long do they have to be to safely put pegs on?

Cheers :daumenhoch:

You want the nut to be fully threaded on.

You take the wheel nuts off and use the pegs to hold the wheel on

Do you want to use modern style pegs as opposed to the long old school trick nuts, as being mentioned above ?

Modern style pegs only require the axle sticking out about 6mm past the wheelnut .

Take the nut off,, ,peg on ,,,nut back on with a socket extension  :)


Or are you using threaded pegs  :-\

I want to use the modern ones, but pretty sure the axle doesn't stick 6mm past the wheelnut, hence my problem

Has it got tuffs on?

Just remove the existing washer from behind the wheel nut on the side you're fitting the pegs on, the pegs won't be much thicker than the washer you've removed...  :daumenhoch:

They'll work fine with tuffs, just don't go doing anything to heavy on em, those 10mm axles will bend easy

Yeah it has tuffs on it, the washer behind the wheel nuts is one of those safety ones that locks the wheel onto the forks.

Chuck it away, unless you plan on riding with the wheel nuts loose you won't be needing it...  :daumenhoch:

Ok, say I wanted to keep that washer, can I get a longer axle that fits tuffs?

Took one of the front washers off and the axle still only sticks 3.5mm past the wheelnut.

Looks like the axle is 140mm, can I just knock that one out and put a longer one in? Does it need to be anything special?

Without washer:-



With washer:-






This is a picture of the bike that was sent to me before it was bought, so it seems that it did have a much longer front axle, but for some reason the axle or more likely the wheel was changed before the bike was collected:-

great pics cheers  :daumenhoch: now just need a pic of the pegs you want to use  :)

Can can change the axle if you want but its unusual to have to do it... but if that last pic was of the bike you were buying then is pretty weird that it isn't what you got  ???
