I’m tempted by some of the 15mm Exotic forks, but I tend to run bolt-thru axles for security after having problems with various QR thru-axles

Anyone know if the axle can be replaced?

Do you mean replaced by a non-qr axle, or a like-for-like replacement?
It was a detail I didn’t notice until they arrived and was a little disappointed to discover they weren’t standard bolt thru. Just lived with it and never had any problems. Sorry, can’t offer anything further as haven’t needed to look into replacing it.

Ya, a non-QR replacement. The only thing I can think of that may work is a Surly axle from a Krampus or Lowside fork, as those are similar to the Exotic in that they don’t rely on threads within the fork legs

Can’t find one for less than £40 though, and not even sure it’d fit…
