Installation Notes Remove rear wheel and disassemble axle from hub. Clean axle seat in frame dropouts. Install new axle through frame dropouts and hub body. Thread M6 bolts hand-tight through both dropouts into axle. Tighten progressively in alternating sequence (left-right-left-right) to ensure even clamping pressure and proper wheel alignment. Final tightness should be snug but not excessive—over-tightening can strip threads or crack dropouts.

Maintenance Notes Check M6 bolt tightness regularly before riding, especially after extended riding sessions or impacts. Loose bolts compromise wheel retention and handling precision. Replace axle if threads become stripped, if axle bends, or if bolts loosen repeatedly despite proper tightening.

Performance Note Properly installed and tightened axle ensures consistent wheel alignment and eliminates lateral play that can affect steering precision and overall bike control—critical for competitive racing performance.

Compatibility Reminder Compatible with 2020–2021 Chase Element Expert complete bikes with M6 bolt dropouts only. Verify your frame year and model before purchase—incompatible with other Chase Element years or different bolt standards.
