Anyone know what this is? I don't have one to measure unfortunately. Presume it'll be M15 x 1.5, but guess it could be some weird imperial version. Or could it vary by manufacturer?

Cheers,

Afaik it varies by manufacturer.

So presumably 15mm road forks are not threaded, but the axle would come with an adaptor which it screws into? i.e the forks just have plain holes?

On my grail I think there is a nut or threaded receptacle bonded into the fork,

That's the problem - I want to be sure I'm getting a compatible axle.

Are you not getting both parts together?

The fork is a Vitus, I don't have it yet, but it doesn't come with an axle. I'd assumed it would have one side threaded, but if not then it makes things a little easier.

One side will have some sort of thread in it. You will need to order the axle that that matches what is specced. If you go to the spec sheet it should tell you, which for have you ordered - any reason it comes without an axle?
