Bent axles with 8 speed freewheels
How frequently or how likely is it that a 10mm standard axle will bend when using an 8 speed freewheel?
I ask because I would like to run an 8 speed but have incompatible parts, Campy Chorus with 8 speed original and 8 speed cassette but EXA configuration. 8 speed original cassettes are exorbitant on the bay compared to an 8 speed freewheel.
I have an older Chorus/Record hub for a freewheel that is unused and laced already. Plus, since the spacing is the same, I can use the 8 Speed ergo's.
