problems changing wheels
so i bought new wheels for my Trek and when i went to take the front wheel off i can't get it to budge.
the axle nuts come off with no problems but then i am left with this:
the silver rings won't budge or move at all so i can't get the wheel off.
help?
edit: sorry about the pic size

I'd put the axle nut back on (not tight) and whack it with a mallet/rubber handle of wrench.
Or try rocking it back and forth.
