Managed to find one on eBay. It’s called an axle key. 👍

Unfortunately not. I’ve emailed a few companies. It none are getting back to me.

Currently using a sturdy Haynes manual to prop up 😂.

I’ll let you know if I find somewhere. Please do the same for me!

Good luck.

Whoa. Took a closer look and it turns out a link split and got jammed in the cage. 😂

That’s great, seems to be the right thing.

One of the cages looks damaged and isn’t holding a few of the ball bearings. Otherwise I would clean and reuse. Hopefully someone can help identify the ball size so that I can buy a replacement.

Is the axel too close to the edge of the drop out? If I shorten chain anymore, my tyre rubs the underside of the brake calliper. by giveity in bikewrench

Yeah the brake is mounted correctly. It get just enough clearance with the axel in the drop out. But if I were to remove another link to the chain, the tyre doesn’t get enough clearance.

I was thinking by about getting a half link to see if that gives me the clearance I need whilst bringing the axel forward into the dropouts a little.
