I had the local bike store order a Mark II - and the spindle was too long, about 2 1/4", and stuck out of the end of the axle. So I must have the 146mm axle. We recordered a Mark I and hopefully it's the one with the 2 inch spindle.

The Mark II has two | | markings on the spindle. The original equipment in my AW has six: | | | | | |

By "aligns with the cable" Grand Bois means the indicator chain does not tolerate being pulled sideways. Screw in spindle all the way in *lightly* (no torque) then back it off 1/3 to 2/3 turn until the natural direction of the chain flexing into the axle nut aligns with the cable. Pulling the chain even slightly sideways will twist the links, and you won't be able to shift anymore because the chain will hang up on the inside of the axle.

The AW will go into "neutral" between 2nd and 3rd, but only if the cable is maladjusted or the indicator chain is stuck.
