I started a thread a while back asking how hard it is to retrue a road wheel (16 spoke, straight pull ultegra) as I couldn't sort mine out.
Eventually took it right apart and checked the rim - totally true, despite the 16 spokes and me being a chubber in roadie terms.
However, I've just noticed that the axle's bent 😳 🙄 and "WTF?"
The shimano doc suggests that part no for the axle is Y21C03100
What I can find is at [url= http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/shimano-ultegra-hb-6700-front-hub-axle-assembly-27s-9802-prod26182/ ]SJS - axle rebuild kit[/url] but not certain it's compatible as is a different number and doesn't name individual bits (and I don't really need bearings/nuts etc)
Does anyone know it's OK and/or whether I can get just the axle ? (my poor googleage says no) - please
stop your frantic searching ( 😥 ) - took a punt on a similar-sounding axle
Tried the madison website?
Anyway googling the code suggests it an utterly std 9mm threaded QR axle.
I did try the madison site - no result from that part #
Yeh - that's what I thought (though lengths seem a bit variable)
Went kerrrrrazy and ordered a dura-ace one
(how often do road axles bend then Al ?)
I've never seen a front axle bend (spent a few years in the trade) and don't comprehend it but am told it happens.
Is it alu or steel?
EDIT a decent LBS could have got the answer for you pretty quickly.
looks like steel
(I wouldn't get to a shop until next weekend, so that's not a goer. I'm not a patient bloke - I only waited about 10 minutes after posting before I ordered the DA one 😳 )
Wheels manafacturing do lots of after market and very good hub parts
Shimano do even more 😀
