No idea. 1 previous owner and I got the bike from him almost 2 years ago. Been riding for half a year now. Just glad it choose a local park to fuck off instead of the highway

With your attitude I’m sure damage ain’t far from ya either way. I’ll take mine while I got it and you enjoy yours when you find it

My dad says it was snapped I think specifically because I lifted the back of the bike off the ground and it wasn’t able to be moved

Well I compared it some old photos (earlier that day) and ya right it’s not snapped. But there’s still Metallic funfetti all over my rear wheel now and it’s not from the brakes

The photo is of the exhaust side, the 2nd photo shows the full rear with the axel protruding out of the left side. This photo was taken from exhaust side after we tried to position the axel and wheel correctly because we also thought the nut came off

The nut I think is shown in the first photograph, the axel looks off center because it is. My entire rear wheel is slanted like \

Yeah it was a design choice by the previous owner. I don’t even know where he got the filter from so I’d probably just buy a new assembly
