The market for RVF wheels with axles stuck in them is not as buoyant as you might think....

Do you not wonder why the axle is stuck in that rim? Nobody in their right mind would decide to dismantle the hub rather than just pull the wheel off......

As it stands, RVF wheels are not worth what they used to be... £175 for that is not too bad, but be prepared to smash the life out of it to get that axle out as I'll bet the muppet never cleaned or copperslipped the inner face of the wheel and so torqued it on,. never to be removed!!

The stuck axles can be really naff to get off, freezing them can help, as well as proper tools but it might need some brute
