[#1416694]

Bit annoying this but the 20mm axle on my 55 forks has broke, while stuck in the forks with wheel attached. I have no way of untightening the stupid thing as its the quick release lever that has broke.

Are there any bike shops in Hertford that may be able to help me, I've tried a few solutions but the thing is stuck pretty fast, the only thing keeping the axle in place is the threads on one side of the axle, it just needs unloosening.

It just sort of started to seize up and get really stiff to turn then one day, crunch the whole thing just broke, so all I have is some broken internals and one very stuck 20mm axle with no way to unscrew the thing.
