Got home from a trip to the Black Mountains to find no Maxle! And they cost £40 to replace!!! Any ideas where to get a cheap one? I must have left it behind, but it's long drive back if i cant find it where we parked up.

Thanks for the responses. The Maxle is a 20mm for a Revelation. I think its the same as the Lyric.

I lost it in a parking layby north of Llanbedr. There's a cottage on the left side of the road and a old track going steeply up the side of the hill towards Table Mountain. This is marked as a footpath on the OS just beneath where it says Penhoelmeirch. There's also some ruined barns half way up this track.

No help, but I zip tie my maxles on now after a £40 hit.

Barzy - is your maxle a 360 or the proper old style? I'm curtently using a bodged together maxle as I broke the skewer on mine and would be hugely grateful for a cheap replacement

Sorry to cut in bristol.
