R-clip: is it legal for a front axle?
The rulebook states:
Axles must be secured by lock wiring both the axle and
the nut, or by a cotter pin through both the axle and the
nut.
The wiki site for R-clip states:
An R-clip, also known as an R-pin, R-key, hairpin cotter pin,[1] hairpin cotter,[2] bridge pin,[2] hitch pin[3] or spring cotter pin,[4]
There was an off-topic discussion today where I said an R-clip isn’t allowed per LRRS tech. Several of us have failed tech over the years for using the same exact clips on our bikes. The response was a quote from the LRRS rulebook, which my stance was that an R-clip is not a cotter pin. Therefore, it should not have passed tech.
