Top tip! Make sure to tighten that pinch bolt to 5.1nm! One time I tightened it to only 5nm and the front fell off.

You just saved me from a night of researching why my hub doesn’t fit my new 38 fork. Didn’t realize the floating axle acts as a backing to the hub end cap instead of the fork dropout sitting flush against the endcap. I shit myself thinking I have to install a new hub before I found this video

Didn't know you had to cycle the suspension before torquing the pinch bolt. Thanks for that tip.

I just got my new bike with Fox 38 and was removing the front wheel the first time. I didn’t notice the pinch bolt at first and turned the axle a couple of turns with some force. I then noticed the pinch bolt and loosened it, rest of the axle was easy to screw off. Did I make any damage to my fork or the axle by this mistake?

Ha, I did exactly the same thing with my new Fox 36. They could do a better job of warning you about the correct technique of installation and removal. I figured it out, and had the same concerns you do, but it all seems to be working fine. This was over 8 months ago.

You’re actually only supposed to set it the first time you install the tire and then never do it again. Kind of makes you wonder what the point is

Wait...do you have to untighten the Pinch bolt to remove the Thru Axle?? Meaning everytime i remove my wheel, both need to be undone? I just purchased one of these for my new 36. Always had RockShox, and always used a Maxle instead of the QR. I have nightmares about the QR not being tight enough and my wheel coming off while i'm sending a drop or something.
