    Add 5" to the axle length for the correct tube length

      The tube is 6 inches SHORTER (not longer) than the axle. The tube can't be longer than the axle.
      This is for a Winters but I'm pretty sure all the brands are pretty much the same on this.

          You are correct about the right side 36 but the left on Warrior is 32. And rocket needs to be 33.

            tube length

            Get a 1" wheel spacer. A lot of newer rockets come with the shorter tube and a spacer.

                whoops! Sorry about that guys, I shouldn't post after being awake that long lol

                I ran across a picture on pitstop usa's site that showed the 5" difference. Thanks for the clarification Matt!

                  If I use the 1 inch spacer, will I be able to get my bird cage in the proper place?
