ABSTRACT:
Apparatuses and methods for securing and positioning an axle relative to a cycle frame are provided. An adjustor block is placed in a cavity of the cycle frame. The block can slide longitudinally within the frame cavity. An axle bolt is inserted into the cavity and seated against a bearing surface of the adjustor block for engagement with the adjustor block. The axle bolt is threadedly engaged with the axle, thereby coupling the axle to the adjustor block. An adjustor bolt is inserted into a bore in the cycle frame and used to move the adjustor block longitudinally within the frame cavity, which in turn moves the axle longitudinally relative to the frame. The frame and axle assembly are both functional and aesthetically pleasing without the use of axle covers.
