MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I've got a 2009 Cube Fritzz which runs a DT Swiss X-12 (142mm x 12mm) rear axle. On my last ride my back end swung out & hit a tree which snapped the axle's QR handle leaving only the splines & the rest of the axle in place & still tight. I bought a replacement axle from chain reaction but when I compared the new with the old the threads were different, the one on the left is the new one.

Is there a Cube specific X-12 rear axle? If so where can I get one?
Thanks
Hi mate not 100% but I thought cube ran the syntace axels??
If I'm right there could be a tread difference there. Bit of an arse if there is 😯
Hi thanks for the reply.
I believe the X-12 system was developed by Syntace and adopted by the wheel manufacturers? As the axle QR handle did have the DT Swiss logo on it, I've got a feeling it could be a nightmare to get a replacement lol
These are great till something happens 😀 ive had thread length issues with the 10mm versions dt swiss do, if there the same sort of thing there solid? i had an enginer from work just cut me some more thread in to it my be you could look to doing this? local enginers garage etc,it should be a stanndard thread if nothing else.
I rang chain reaction up to return/part ex it & their tech guys said that i need a cube specific one
