Spam: The other white meat

Ugh. Tuning up my hubs, getting ready for this season and of course, disaster strikes. I took the play out of the rear hub just fine- it's an easy process! Two 5mm wrenches on either side of the axle and then you can lossen the bearings right up. Or tighten them as the case may be. The rear went, no questions asked. On to the front. Hrmmm... seems stiff. Really stiff. Ugh! Why is this not lossening. Suddenly there was a loud CRACK and the result is what you can make out in this picture. Well the wheel is on its way to Portland Oregon to be repaired. Hopefully they will be able to get the axle end off to replace it.
