Patent ID: 7918474

Claim:
A bicycle wheel support assembly comprising: a chain stay and a seat stay each having an axle mount opening; an axle mount assembly having a first portion that engages the chain stay from a first direction and a second portion that engages the seat stay from a second direction that is opposite the first direction such that the axle mount assembly secures the chain stay to the seat stay when the axle mount assembly is engaged therewith and so that the chain stay and the seat stay are separable when the axle mount assembly is removed therefrom; and an axle engaged with a peripheral location of the axle mount assembly so that the axle mount assembly offsets the axle in a radial direction from the chain stay and the seat stay and so that rotation of the axle mount assembly alters a position of the axle relative to the axle mount opening independent of engagement of the axle with the axle mount assembly.
