Default HELP --- Missing screw

Guys, I don't know if I'm going crazy but I just came in from a long ride. As I'm looking over my bike, I noticed on the front wheel, there looks like a screw missing.

Please take a look at the attached pic and let me know if I'm right.

Thanks!





Shouldn't there be a bolt or a screw at the end?

you put a bar through there to hold it when removing/tightening the nut on the other side.

You can buy end caps to put on both sides, looks much better.

I don't know about no bolt at the end of the thing but there sure are A LOT of bolts missing in them holes in that round circly spinny thing. Look at all them holes!

I was riding all morning. Went to the fridge and grabbed a cold one. Went back to the garage to grin at my bike again then noticed that. I couldn't remember if it was supposed to look like that. Then grabbed the service manual and couldn't find it.

Tomorrow, I'm planning on riding to Fox Creek Leather for another pair of gloves. I didn't want to spend the day at the stealership getting the right bolt.

Man, that was a dumb thread. I'm now cracking up.

Thanks again guys.

Aha! You may have just leaked the reason why you couldn't remember if it was supposed to look like that. That "cold one"..was it a 32 oz'er? Maybe more than one?
