get an old axle, put the cone nut on the insides of the dropout then another on the outside. i can almost promise if you ship it like that your not gonna have fun getting your back wheel in.
I was considering it at the time, but opted out as I couldn't figure out what to actually use. However, I think I'll open up the packaging again and try and make something work. The fact that there will likely be weight on top of the box and that rear triangles aren't designed to tolerate direct side loads is making me wary.
Let me know if your swinging by North of California ,maybe we can ride and show you some spots along the way. Hopefully the weather holds up here though
My friend lives in Santa Cruz so I think we'll mostly be sticking around there. I know Petaluma is north of San Fran so if we head that way, I'll shoot you a message.
