 rear axle issue I didn't google this at all so if this is a dumb question just yell at me.
I put a new rear axle on my bike two months ago and Its not had many miles on it, maybe 200 or so. It a polo bike but my roommate uses it to get around. It could have happened in polo but I was wondering if because if my roommate rides it on the highest gear all the time it might strain the axle? I'm not bummed because its a cheap fix for an awful bike, I just want to know whats wrong with it.

Re: rear axle issue I don't get it? What are you asking? high gears don't ruin axles.

Re: rear axle issue High gears don't ruin axles; people ruin axles.
On a serious note: What's wrong with it?
