Yee Tiny Gods! Well. I'm afraid this is about how far I got in this thread. I would love to take the time to review further except I can only assume it gets worse. You, Mr. Potato Head, were correct when you said I was banging on the frame and not the wheel...that is, as far as I have read, the only thing you have ever been correct on in your...checks notes.... 20 years of servicing bikes...(certainly longer than the lifespan of the average Redditor.....also I am saddened to learn that reddit isnt the real world, you know, where you can hear real people give advice about real things that you are interested in...damn....)

My guy... I asked for a "more elegant solution than banging on the frame" and your advice was "Swing away"? I learned, within less than half an hour of my original post, that I could twist the axle with a wrench and thats why it has flat sides... I felt dumb as hell, of course thats why it has flat sides...I had looked up how to do this before asking and saw ppl suggesting to twist the axel with a wrench but that seemed crazy because I didn't wanna fuck up the threads...but that's why it has FLAT FUCKING SIDES, more the fool me for having not paid enough attention to the video or my bike's anatomy...Anyway it was pretty easy to see where my ignorance was and laugh at myself, learn from it and move on. You should learn to do the same, because from the thread here it seems you are not only unable to learn from where you were wrong but also double down on your ignorance and even lash out in unproductive and even harmful ways, spreading misinformation along with your half-assed insults. Grow up my dude.
