  1. Hey all,

    The other night I was switching out the cranks on my 06 DX. Later on,
    when I was putting the cranks back on, I noticed that with the bearing
    and spacers all on, the crank was only going onto the axle about 3/4 of
    the way. Before, I had not noticed if they went on all the way, but
    they do on my 07 DX.

    Could someone with an 06 DX (preferably the trials) take out the crank
    bolt and check to see how far the crank gets seated on the axle?

    Thanks!
    Maximus

  2. Show us a picture? The 07 has the same exact hub and crank so it should
    be the same fit.

    We only need one 36" rim, one that doesn't suck. A properly sized KH rim
    (like the 29er only larger) would be awesome.

    They are expensive because they use only the finest soft drink cans.

  4. There. As you can see, the splines stick up a little bit, meaning the
    cranks aren't fully on the axle. The cranks do tighten down though.

  5. Clean out all the dirt and dust in there and try again. Might be a good
    idea to lube it up too.

    Yeah, I did that the other night. It just looks dirty from the grey
    anti-sieze.

  7. I just checked on my 06 DX. I have the same splines not being fully
    covered inside the crank.

    20241

    I removed the spacers from axle and put the crank back on, and the
    splines were fully covered, but the crank was coming just a mm from
    hitting my frame. It still would rotate though.

    20242

    Not having the splines fully covered hasn't bothered me, or made my uni
    any weaker. It has held up for the year I have had it, and still doing
    great. Cranks still straight.

    If it really bothers you, im sure you can take the spacers off and then
    put your crank back on. I have 2 then spacers and one thick one, and
    took all 3 off, and had very little room from the frame to the crank.
    It was almost hitting the side. You could take the big spacer off and
    keep the 2 small ones on, and that should give enough clearance.

    Ride on. =p

  8. Mine also sit a bit off of the axel.

    No big deal really...

    I might just take out a spacer on mine, I have to rotate and clean my
    splines by like yesterday anyways.

    Thanks! Thats, thats exactly what I was looking for. It doesn't bother
    me, I just wanted to make sure, because on the 07 axle it doesn't do
    that, and I didn't remember for the 06 model.
