[Closed] Bolt Thru Rear Axle

superstar and fireye do one under a tenner

Not an answer to your question, but I upgraded mine to the 10mm bolt up axle a couple of weeks ago and its great. Dont know if the full bolt through is lighter/stiffer but its certainly a vasy improvement over the QR

looks good, might give it a bash @ £8

if you haven't bought the [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=18761 ]10mm Thru axle conversion kit[/url] yet (as per this link), the consider this [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=11825 ]10mm bolt-up kit[/url] instead? (no need to buy a QR, though a bit more hassle to fit no doubt)

not bought it yet, no...

might pop the bolt up kit one on the SX Trail

do fancy a QR one tho on the Full Bounce tho

Bugger didn't realise Kieran had posted about it already..

Had a Superstar 10mm which was good, now on an NC17 which is also good and a lot lighter. However the cam action on the qr was better on the Superstar one. Much cheapness either way compared to DT Swiss...

I've got a superstar one if you want to buy it. brand new unused. They don't compare to the DT swiss ones (which I also own). The QR ones waist down the 10mm axles to about normal QR thickness at the lever end. The thing is solid steel and heavy. I assumed it would be alloy like the DT swiss ones. The biggest advantage of the DT RWS is that the clamping force doesn't reduce like it does on a QR when the cam goes over centre. In that respect all you are buying with the QR ones is a thicker QR. Having said all that, not sure I could tell the difference even with the DT swiss one (It just seems like a much better solution that the old fashioned thin QRs)

Hadley big old allen bolt here - simple, works, not too heavy -v- not cheap, you need a 6mm allen key.

I like it.

SJSCycles do axles plus excellent track nuts with the separate washers
