Threaded rear axle

[ubersoldat]

Hi,

I was wondering what about a threaded rear axle? You can grab everything with nuts. The sprocket the wheels, brakes... what do you think about that? Or is it just unnecessary to thread the whole axle? I would like to hear your opinion about it.

Live axles are threaded on ends to secure wheels/tires. Everything else that fits on axle such as sprockets and brakes are held in place with set screws and keys. Keyway runs entire length of axle.

Wheels ar held with nuts right?

And keys. That's why they have threads.
