How I fit the Front and Rear Axles to Specialized Demo8 - Boxxer Forks

Описание: I hope this edit gives you some pointers and pre-warns you of the quirks with the 2016 Demo8 axles.

Disclaimer
The information provided in this video is what works for me, on my bike, it may not work for you on your bike especially if it is a different make, model, age or version.

The torque values provided are those quoted by RockShox and Specialized in the relevant manuals, provided at the time of purchase. If your axles are etched with alternative fitting details, or your manuals state different to mine, you should follow those.

The tightening values for the front axle 'notch' screw are somewhat ambiguous. I tighten mine to a nip. I do not set its tightness by an amount of notches. I am not advising you to do this, it's what works for me.

Be sure to check your axles are secure at least once on each day of riding.

A wheel coming loose or adrift could cause serious injury. Following any of the information given in this video is done so at your own risk
