The lever snapped off mine so I've drilled a hole in the end so I can tighten it with an Allen key. First ride out this weekend and the back wheel came loose.
Does the lever do anything or did I just not tighten it enough?
I use a front RWS and it seems to be a simple nut and bolt with funny handy handle.
I have rear that I've never got round to converting a hub for - Pro2 in bearings that wouldn't die shocker 🙂
Pretty sure that there's no expanding wedge like in a Maxle... So probably not tight enough.
Superstar 9mm QR? Direct replacement fit wise...
It's a 135 x 12 rear. I think the lever is just for tightening. There was a small button that allowed you to choose where the lever pointed but I think your right.
yep, it's just a threaded rod. As Mugboo says - the only "complicated" bit is the fact that you can re-position the lever after it's been tightened to avoid it snagging on a bramble or summint. The superstar versions have a standard quick-release type lever which nips-it-up after you've wound it tight.
I have one on the back of my intense that has a cone with a split in on the axle by the handle that looks like when it presses into the g1 dropout and is tightened up the split compresses and nips the axle? I don't seem to be able to find a picture on google, they all look different.
Last time I checked Superstar said they didn't do one & I'm not sure about the Intense but I think I asked them too. BETD was suggested but they were a no, I think that was to do with Intense.
No problem though, I'll just tighten it properly this time!
Superstar quick releases here.

Standard RWS replacements are the 9 and 10 mm at too of page.
If you have a 12mm rear end obviously won't fit... But are you sure that's what you have? DR do make one but 10mm is a lot more common... Superstar only do non-qr axles this size at the moment.

Just had to get a replacement for my mega. DT don't sell them they were customs for Nukeproof but a Rockshox maxle is a direct fit.
Definitely 12mm & yes the Maxle fits, I tried my mates but they are too expensive 🙁
Tell me about it, I just had to drop over £50 for mine, I almost had a heart attack but the bike is pretty useless without it!
mugboo - could be your lucky day 😉 just emailed you ref the maxle 🙂
Looks like it is, thank you.
