Hey guys I just expierenced the fairly common rear axle bolt brake while riding! Yikes! a "flying W" for sure as I shop over the bars at speed.
After seeing for myself where the break in the bolt has been happening I have a suggestion to do now before it snaps on you.
Its this simple... Take the bolt out and turn it around. Changing the position the fork rests on the bolt on the motor side. This way, where the bolt threads end is not the frame contact area.
Another suggestion is to go get a grade 8 bolt. For $3.00 you have saecurity and peace of mind.
