Ok, I will not even try to sugar coat this one with my inexperience or lack of following instructions. I was removing my front tire to take to the shop to have a new tire installed. I forgot to loosen the set screw before turning the axle about a quarter of a turn. How bad did I mess this one up? :spank:

It should be alrght might have just scratched the axel but if you were able to turn it then it might have done nothing

+1. The pinch bolt is just there to prevent axle from loosening up as you ride. Should be fine. Just inspect the axle when you pull it out.
