    HAHAHAHA
    you have yours on upside down newb.
    if you do pedal grabs and hit the bearing holder you are able to
    destroy the nut and bend the screw the way you have it where as the way
    he has it it wont

  5. Which Qu-Ax frame is that? It wasn't the black one was it?

    ... I put my bearing clamp bolt nuts on the bottom, because they are
    hard to get on/off when they are on top.

    actually. from the factory they come the other way around. it doesnt
    really make a difference unless the bolts are so long you ruin the
    threads.

    It's the black one that was on the last model of the qu ax trials. I
    stripped it and got it painted again.

    custom cut foam) seat, diff pedals, and a Nimbus hub, but i heard that
    KH and Nimbus hubs are like the same anyway. Mine custom painted
    too!(actually unpainted:p ) I like it!

    maybe
    but how many of the people at the factory actually ride?
    cause its the riders who know what they are talking about (most of the
    time)
    and i have smashed the flat side of the bolt where the nut on his uni
    is hard enough it would have bent the bolt making it impossible to get
    off and reuse

    i have to re ask
    how many factory workers ( and manon would you care to define who the
    "factory" is) actually ride and how many of them ride hard?
    and they way it is in the picture makes more sense cause you cant
    destroy the bolt like it is, where as when it is on the underside you
    can destroy it on an agressive pedal grab.

    aight... calm down dude!
    I dont pedal grab so it doesnt effect me yet.
    Mine are short anyways.

    Maybe all the factory workers never overshoot their pedal grabs. 😉

    There isn't a right or wrong way to do it, either way it will hold your
    frame on. If you frequently mess up grinds and grabs and land on your
    bearing holder then flip the bolts so the nut is on top.

  15. I don't do grabs and grinds, but I DO often disassemble my uni for
    transport to a place where I can practice freestyle. So I flip them
    down so it's easier to turn the bolts. Neither way is really more
    correct than the other though.
