dumb question...

Here is some info regarding the Bedford BC wheels:

Jagur

The Deluxe model has a huge big flat bolt
and uses sealed bearings. Different than most axles.

darchibald

The platforms are not threaded on the axle like a BMX peg.

The platforms rest against the big 19mm cone nut,
then the washer goes on, then the 19mm axle nut.

Some BMX 14mm axles use 17mm nuts. I will only use 19mm axle nuts.

The washer on the outside of the platform will protect the powder
coating and also help
keep the platform tight.

I'm glad to hear Brian's standard BC wheel is keeping tight with the
washer on the inside.
I have seen a picture he posted with the cut down nut. It may save his
ankle but it may be harder to bunny hop or go down stairs with it
shorter than stock. Most people use that nut to lift with.
I think that when you get use to the nut, it may be more of a benefit
having it there.

Enjoy the ride,
Darren

I'll have to send Joel down some stairs on it then, to see if it works
🙂 (although it is still quite bunnyhopp-able)

Maybe I'll leave it on when I get my deluxe muni one 😄
