Anyone know where to get a Fox36 15mm, 110mm boost QR thru axle with a lever on the end?

My new bike comes with a set of Fox 36's and the axle needs an allen key to remove and fit which is a pain as the front wheel has to come off every time to go in the car, cant be arsed to keep allen key near by and would much prefer a 15mm qr lever type thru axle like i had on my Rockshox Lyrics

Fox will charge you about £60 for a QR axle. I'd be keeping an allen key in my boot.

Even if you get one, you’ll not be able to adjust it so it’s in the right position when closed as the bit you thread into isn’t adjustable like it is on the QR forks. (I tried using a QR I already had.)

I mean you could get some new lowers, or just use an Allen key...

Cheers, that's a bit pants!

A friend has a Moustache e-bike with fox 36's (performance model same as mine) and it came with a 15mm QR axle and the lever can placed upright in the closed position, may have to swap it for mine when he's not looking lol

If your Fox 36 has the little clock-dial plate on the right hand dropout then you need QR Axle 820-09-013-KIT. If you have the type of dropouts that have two pinch bolts on each dropout then you cant fit a QR axle.

Don't think there is a non QR ready boost option for 36 lowers.
Pinch bolt stuff is 110x20/100 isn't it?

I prefer the bolt, i just keep a couple of 6mm t handle hex keys in the car and bag, helps keep the bike a bit secure as well.

I have a brand new Fox 36 QR. Would swap for the non QR version you have OP if unused.
