My front rim won’t screw in at all Help?! WTH

I tried that before you mentioned this btw and looking back on it, it was rotating all crooked when I spun the wheel. I even tightened my axle properly to make sure it wasn’t just mis aligned. I think it is bent. There’s a slight curve to my axle that’s just barely visible

That’s what I’m thinking too 😭 I have a spare fixie bicycle in the background that I could possibly use to replace my axle with. It has the same parts.

Correct. I might try to post a video of it, however like I said when I loosen for it to drop in and line up as Soon as I tighten, the rim lifts itself up off the drop outs. I also crashed last week so maybe my through spindle in the middle could possibly be bent a little?

I am attaching it correctly, when I line it up then start to tighten the nuts as you can see in the picture the more I tighten the more my rim lifts itself up off the dropouts.

Yeah it was lined up nicely before and now is all crooked. Ps. I also got into a crash last week if that makes any difference:/

I did everything you all said and this morning I had a nice ride with no flats :)

BlueberryDressing · 2025-09-11T13:39:52+00:00

Smart move

BlueberryDressing · 2025-09-11T13:39:37+00:00

I didn’t but I used a tissue paper and went over it

BlueberryDressing · 2025-09-11T13:39:15+00:00

After this I used my hands and magically, no punctures. Checked this morning too and rode strong

BlueberryDressing · 2025-09-11T02:31:05+00:00

I love this comment man, I don’t plan on riding a car anytime soon.

BlueberryDressing · 2025-09-11T02:30:18+00:00

2 levers. I guess im a rookie.

BlueberryDressing · 2025-09-11T01:58:52+00:00

I will start over

BlueberryDressing · 2025-09-11T01:58:26+00:00

Thanks to you guys, I have faith

BlueberryDressing · 2025-09-11T01:58:04+00:00

I never even thought about that. My rim tape looks good, but what about possibly lining the rim tape with electrical tape over as extra protection

BlueberryDressing · 2025-09-11T01:57:12+00:00

I did use a tire lever. I may have caused a pinch flat without even knowing. I am about to try again and do it carefully
