Just for my own clarity's sake - when you say axle cap - are you referring to the bolt that tightens the hub into the frame? Or are you referring to the axle piece on the inside of the frame, which the bolts thread into? On Wed, Nov 18, 2015 at 4:50 PM, George Schick wrote: > Yeah, as I said in

Yeah, as I said in one of my replies on this thread, the "standard" 120mm road axle caps measure 18.87mm, which is way too wide for the FR-6 to fit over them. One has to remove at least the DS axle cap in order to get the FR-6 (and presumably anyone else's tool, as well) to work. That's why I'
