A one-piece axle comprised of three cylindrical parallel sections: a large end, a center section, and a small end concentric with the large end. The three sections are separated by an eccentric large step, and an eccentric small step. The center section is located between the two steps and is offset from the large and small ends. The center section locates and supports a front wheel of a cycle. The axle is connected to a first split axle housing and a second split axle housing located at the bottom of each of a first fork and a second fork of a cycle respectively, whereby said housings are pinched to form direct rigid and rotationally secured connections between the respective split axle housings and the large and small ends. The position of the front wheel axis of rotation relative to the forks is adjusted by rotating the axle in the split axle housings before the housings are pinched. The axle allows quick and easy adjustments of the front wheel, affecting cycle steering and handling characteristics.
