Now, the axle for the rear wheel and the axle for the front wheel is the same. So, like we did with the headset races, we're doing the same thing. So here's a separate file for the axle. And this is an axle that sits here, and it's threaded here on the end for a nut. And then there's basically this pancake unit that goes inside the frame and is bonded into the frame. So that that is basically entirely sandwiched in carbon fiber. So there's, that's, what's carrying the load. And then there's also a little cavity so we can put carbon inside and it just, it carries all the load of the wheels into the frame. So let's go ahead and get that mounted into the bike.
