I think the only impact would telling whoever is doing the removal how to do it.

Only difference is; instead of removing a nut and washers on the left side (stock) you loosen the cap on the right side and remove the axle. The axle has a hex head and screws into the cap.

As neat as this is you should already have had it in the tool box awaiting the arrival of the bike 

Yo know Roger, wit as long as it took to get the bike here the "boxes" should have been pretty well stacked up.

I have it on the SEUC, it's still rain season out here and tomorrow they're predicting snow, it gives me something to do if I spread it out.

Like the battery yesterday along with some waxing and touch up

To remove the knurled end cap I use a blunt end brass punch and a decent sized hammer. Sounds crude when typed I know. If your trying to get the 6MM bolt out for the fork tube internals the axle cap does not have to come all the way out. It has to be moved about 3/16 of an inch. This is just enough to squeak the bolt by and not remove the cap from the lines left by the knurls.

As far as a replacement cap, good question. I'll inquire. I found a set on eBay once and they were as much as a new axle!

Is this 6mm bolt something that comes out when doing the Traxxion upgrade?
If so, I think I'd like to have a spare cap. Maybe you could check into that Mike. if it is not unreasonable ......................

I will say yes as if anything has to come out of the tubes that 6MM bolt has to be loosened.

I'll check on replacement caps.

By unreasonable I mean in price, not in you doing it

I finally got to use this

Puzzled already has plenty of good pictures of the axle and cap on his "axle and cap thread", as well as his two different "wheels for sale" threads.

Mike - any updates on replacement caps?
Will probably be pulling the forks out over the winter and send back to Georgia.

WOW this is an old thread.

You can take the left side cap out without damaging it as I have done this a few times.  With that said YES I have replacement caps.  They run something like $30 plus shipping.

[porthole]

Alright, just checking. Would rather know they are available now instead of "then"

I'll be taking the bike to the shop soon for tires, remember the axle & cap torques?

This is one of those upgrade you really don't appreciate - until your next to another bike that doesn't have the flush axle and cap.
