yeah you gotta use photobucket etc first then link to here
try your local bike store (halfords etc), they look quite fat you should be able to get thinner lock nuts.
Hello raddersI posted on this forum a couple of years ago a did a good deal to get a Haro freestyler! Im back now cause I need help. I just bought a wee Junior bike for a friends kid from Winstanleys bmx. They posted it to me and its in bits, more than any other bike I have bought, normally I just put the peddels on and turn the handlebars round. That is my level of mechanical skills.Anyway, ive managed to get most things attached, but I cant get the front wheel on! there are two nuts on either side of the hub and they are locked tight. I cant shift them and the wheel wont fit into the fork with them there. Are they meant to be there? Should I stretch the fork to fit? or should I get them removed? The reason I ask is that the back wheel has the same bolts and they are still tight to the hub with the other nuts fastening the wheel.Total dumbass question, but I hope you can help. Also, as it is so dumbass and I have just popped on here after registering years ago, feel free to mock me.Cheers UPL

and considering it was bought as a whole bike ,you knda think it should just slot straight inRich
Bike was replaced without question! New one is here and the wheel is on. Now Im trying to fix/install the brakes. Im old school, whats all this gyro stuff all about! The instructions would be as well being printed in japanese. Brakes have never been my strong point. Got the front one wired up and it does stop the wheel spinning, but it doesnt spring back into its oringinal position very well. Any suggestions?I'll try the back gyro tomorrow - please expect photos and questions! Might be as well visiting the bike shop...
