Just a modest request for folks NOT to put 3000-pixel-wide pictures inline in the forum. A link to the big picture works just as well while keeping the text readable. Thanks. - Rick TYler [more]

A "live" axle is when the axle is connected to the wheel in a way that it spins with the wheel (key/hex), and the sprocket is attached to the axle (key/hex). So the sprocket spins the axle, which spins the wheel. The axle is supported by bearings.

A "dead" axle is where the sprocket is attached directly to the wheel, and bearings are on the wheel. The axle doesn't spin.
