Mastered the maxle, but this is beyond me. How do I take the wheel off?
if you have what i think you have, just turn it. lefty loosey, righty tighty 😉
I can lift the lever out away from the frame, but turning it seems to have no effect
You should be able to use it as a lever to unscrew the thing, it loosens normally, ie: anti-clockwise, but they have a tendency to strip the splines from inside the lever.
When you pull the lever out from the frame, it shouldn't do anything. When it's not away from the frame, it should engage the axle and make it possible to unscrew the thing.
If it just spins when it's [i]not[/i] pulled away from the frame, chances are that it's broken. If that makes any sense.
Thanks-I'll apply a bit more ompf next time and see if that does the trick!
When you do it back up, be careful that the lever's properly pushed down or it's quite easy to strip the splines off the inside of it. Expensive mistake, don't ask how I know etc... 😉
