Can any of you help?
I'm trying to unscrew the maxle on my pikes, but it's pushing the other fork leg out as it unscrews and not unscrewing from the quick release.
What can I do?
Hammer n screwdriver, careful where your placing the head though!
No need for a screwdriver!
The problem you have is a bearing siezed on the axle (you didnt grease the axle did you!). To get it off undo it a little bit and try and force the wheel across (to the left), either by lying the fork against somthing and pushing on the wheel or, more drastic, hitting the right fork leg with a hammer (be careful tho!)
STATO you're a star!
Worked a treat thanks.
Now get some grease on it! 😉
Happened to me last year, very disconcerting when your fork legs start to bend like that 😯
