Harlequin/Finesse axle
« on: January 29, 2012, 09:51:27 PM »
Hi guys.

Just a quick question.
Are the axles in harlequins the same as finesse?  Can you take apart a harlequin like a finesse? It's just im after a normal axle for a finesse to replace a wide.

Cheers

The bolt and axle are melted together in harlequin. In Finesse those two parts are separate. So if you're changing the axle you should make a bolt as well.

Cheers Mark,

Do you know where I could get a standard finesse axle from by any chance?

Do you mean the bolt or the axle?

Bolt you can get in your local hardware store just cut it to correct length.

The axle bit is little more difficult. But I have loads of them. Can sell one if you're interested. ;) I think the one's I have are from g4 finesses.

Yes, g3 and g4 are very different. g3 is much more roundish (and better).

I wanted to know if the g4 axles would fit in a g3,  I've got g3s with wide axles and wanted normal axles for the option. I've just tested an original g4 axles in the g3 and it looks good. Marko will pm you.  Cheers

JC, the G4 axle has a 'V' shape profile, G1-3 had 'U' shape profile. I'm OK with either but I'm used to the old profile since I have used them More (and only use G4's when I borrow some)
