I just got my marz 55 rc3 ti and my hub doesnt go in enough for my axle to slide in. I have some cheapo hub which is 6 sided on each end while the fork has a round slot to help align the hub to the fork. The ends on the hub is too big. WTF!! I'll try to post pics asap
:mad:

Yikes...

I've never seen a 20mm hub with a 6pt guide. Personally, I'd take a dremel to it and round off the edges so it aligns properly. To err on the side of caution, I'd remove as little material as possible to get the job done as to not risk compromising the hub integrity and spacing.

that's why we drink it here
Unfortunate collision of quirky non-standard design points. If the hub is that cheap just file down the nuts. If you put a powertool on one side to spin the axle you can file at least one side lathe-style by holding the file up to the spinning axle hardware.
