Evening all!
I’ve got a new road bike with the RAT axle. The preload nut doesn’t turn to tighten up the wheel to take out the play…
Just wondered if anyone else has had issues with these?
Cheers!

Are you adjusting the Lever end??

Hi Sam,
Yes, the preload nut is next to the lever?

Sounds like its faulty as they turn really easily.

Mine gummed up a bit on the rear, needed a set of pliers to loosen off.

I took it apart and greased it all up. No worries.

Sam,
I thought that might the the case as the rear does turn easily.
PJ…will see if I can get it apart over the weekend I guess!
Thanks both

To dig up an old topic, the thread on my preload adjuster just shat itself.

Any ideas where to get a replacement rear R.A.T axle sharpish? I have emailed Primera sports in hope.

Cheers.

I couldn’t find any listed when I looked at the time of the post….sorry mate!
I don’t know where you are based but beeline bikes in Oxford where really helpful with mine.

Has anyone else had issues with the expanding headset gubbin? Mine has worked loose a couple of times. May well be replaced with a starnut shortly…
