Hi all,
I have recently bought a cube attain sl disc with Syntace x12 thru axles front and rear - so far I'm loving the bike, BUT today I gave it a good wash and took both wheels off and now I can't put the rear thru axle back in! It looks like the removable drop out / rear derailleur hanger (see attached pic) has got cross threaded. I was very careful not to force it when it wasn't going in properly - but it appears to have happened anyway.
I thought one of the benefits of thru axles was that theyou were easy to relocate the wheel?? To be fair, the front has been no problem, but I wondered if anyone had any suggestions? The thru axle itself looks OK, but obviously I can't fit it in the cross threaded fitting.
Cheers,
A

- unrelated to the rear thru axle issue). However I don't drive and two kids and two adults and a bike in a 206 is a tight squeeze
