Not for actually riding with, I need something for using in a frame while cleaning.

I've seen zee and SLX for about £40. Or I'd be happy with a knackered one so long as it actually spins.

Cheers.

I need this one explained to me - a hub to fit while cleaning?

Yeah, I take the wheels out to clean those and put an old hub in the frame to run the chain over while I clean that and the chainring.

Might sound odd, but it's the way I like to do it.

Cheers. I've seen qr ones like that before but didn't know there was one for a 12mm thru axle.

Seems you only use the roller portion for a thru axle.

Yes, just been looking to see if I could just buy the roller. Lump of nylon and a couple of minutes on a lathe I'm sure it wouldn't be too trick to knock up. I just don't have a lathe.

A roller off a blackspire stinger with a 12mm hole drilled out, maybe

Sure I have one in a box someplace
