i got my rpm axle set in the swingarm, i have the brake hub in and cant figure out how to tighten it up with the lock nut. I screw the lock nut the whole way on the threaded sleeve and it does not stay tight against the brake hub. does anyone with an rpm axle or aftermarket have any tips on how to get the lock nut on tight. thanks

Do you have the clip or clips in the axle groove.Doesnt RPM use their own Locknut?

i'm just guessing here...maybe put a washer in between the hub and collar? or a couple washers since the factory ones are pretty thin.

RPM uses their own lock nut, stock will not work. :cry:
