A split offset axle joins a front cycle wheel to a first and a second fork of a cycle. The axle has two rigid structures joined together with a fastener to form a singular axle. The axle has a cylindrical first end, a cylindrical second end and a cylindrical offset center section. The center section locates and supports a cycle wheel hub. The first and the second ends are housed in a pinchable split axle housing of the first and the second fork, respectively. Rotation of the axle adjusts the center section axis to a plurality of positions relative to the forks. The center section is adjusted to a desired position, thereby adjusting the cycle's steering and handling characteristics, the desired position is secured with pinched split axle housings. The pinched split axle housings rotationally and rigidly secure the respective axle ends.
