How To Remove A Stuck Bolt On A BMX Hub
Need to see how to remove a stuck bolt on a BMX hub?
If you have ever ran a female axle on your bike, there’s a chance at some point you might have run into an issue where your bolt on one side gets stuck and you can’t get it out, with the other side loose and the axle spinning. The guys at Lux BMX put together this video with a great trick for getting the bolt off without stripping the hub down to clamp down on the axle (likely causing damage in the process). In this video Evan Jaques shows you how to remove a stuck bolt on a BMX hub by simply connecting the loose side to one side of the dropout, and then loosening the stuck bolt. By doing this, you prevent the axle from spinning, which is a factor in why it’s tricky to break the bolt free.
This can also be applied to a rear hub as well, just connect one side of the hub to the dropout on your frame instead of the fork.
Quick, easy and doesn’t damage the hub!
“Evan Jaques is one of the founders of and owners of LUXBMX and has worked in the bike industry for the past 20 years. Riding BMX his whole life, Evan learned from a young age how to work on his bike and turned this childhood hobby into a life long obsession, career, and lifestyle.
In this first episode of Quick Fix with Evan, he shows you how to loosen off stubborn front cone nuts.” – Lux BMX
Shout out to Lux BMX with this great tip. We can imagine this will save a lot of headaches and hassle for riders out there. It could also save an axle or two from being destroyed in the process, haha.

Sneak Peek: Flybikes – Magneto Front Hub
A few months back we got aSneak Peek Look Inside The Flybikes Magneto Cassette Hub that has been in the works for about a decade now. Today the have released a little more info about when the hub will be available, along with the news that Flybikes will also have a new matching Magneto front hub and hub guards to go along with the Magneto Cassette! Their original goal was to have the hub available this summer, but it sounds like a few production delays has set it back to October. Either way, the Magneto Front Hub was a surprise since they haven’t mentioned that at all until now. The hub is based off the original Flybikes Classic front hub with some refinements and added touches to make it match the cassette. Either way, this hubset looks amazing!
“We have been getting a ton of emails and messages asking when the Magneto Cassette Hub will be available, and we are super close! Since these are being made in Europe from a smaller manufacturer, we’ve had a few delays and will have the hub ready to go early October.
We are also excited to let you know that we will be releasing a matching Magneto Front Hub to go with the Cassette and new plastic hub guards that will be available (not pictured) for front and back, drive and non-drive side.
We are very excited to get the Magneto Hubs out and we appreciate your patience! Good things come with time and this has been a very long journey that is almost complete!
If you are a shop or distributor that carries Flybikes and want to get a pre-order in, please get ahold of us today for full details!!”

Hub Talk: Far East Cycles Freecoaster Hub How To
Get a detailed look at how the Far East Cycles Freecoaster hub comes apart and all the parts that make it work…
Here’s a video Jean William Prevost sent through giving us a detailed look at how the Far East Cycles Freecoaster hub comes apart and all of the parts that make it work, followed by how it’s put back together. This hub uses a unique driver system that is more like a cassette hub than a freecoaster since it doesn’t use a clutch like most of the other freecoaster options out there. This hub was designed for flatland, but we would imagine this could hold up to some street action, too. Hit play and take a closer look. You can pick this hub up for $169.99 – $319.99 depending on if you go with the titanium axle and driver or chromoly. You can see the options available over on Flatland Fuel!
“FEC hub inventor Ashao gets together with Jean William Prévost to take the hub apart and put it back together as they give some tips on how to use it and assemble/disassemble it correctly.” – Jean William Prevost
