Hi all, so today I broke my maxle, specifically the small metal rod tgat holds the qr lever on. So, has anyone used the stealth version yet? Or the Mt zoom thru axle? I fancy a non qr version and these seem to be best options? Cheers, chris
I did it a few weeks ago, and picked up a stealth on ebay from taiwan. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222423316968
It was about the cheapest place I could find, and I had it inside a week
All good so far
Cheers! I'm thinking that with no moving parts it should be bombproof! As long as it isn't over tight
Even better, it's 28 quid at Evans
As s side note, is there any reason I can't use it still, but tighten by screwing it in? Or will it just work loose?
I have a maxle stealth (the non qr thing - which I think is the one called the stealth)
Pros it does not have that horrid flimsy end that gets all chewed up.
Cons it can bind in the fork and need a little 'welly' to loosen.
I would only use a proper 6mm Allen key. They are hollow so you could easily lose a 4->6mm Allen key adapter inside it.
I've had mine a month or two. Like it much more than the qr thing
The binding thing could be overcome with a bit of copper grease maybe?
