Hey,

are there any, stronger, alternatives to the Maxle. I have now gone through the second one in just over 12 months!

The front wheel hadn’t been off for a while and needed to strip the bike down. Went to release the wheel and it was a bit stuck. Instead of going hell for leather I just kept applying a bit more pressure, which in the end wasn’t very much and it sheered off the tiny bar in the middle. I’m sick of these pieces of crap. Had a 20mm on my old Pikes and that was bomb proof and ran strong for 7 years.

I was wondering if anyone knows a heavier, but stronger version of this poorly designed piece of junk? If it was a tenner for a new one then I wouldn’t care, but now the lbs is trying to remove the old one and I’m looking at 40 brick…. AGAIN!

End of the day I have kids and can’t spend every weekend greasing the whole bike and getting in some riding. It’s for consumers so why don’t we have something that doesn’t break when pull on with any bit of force? Or at least have a spanner release somewhere so I don’t have to force it?

Cheers

Rob

Would one of these work so I don’t have to deal with the poor quick release system.

Maxle

THanks

Rob

Cheers… just what I was looking at…. Done with that stupid quick release anyway. I hardly take off the wheel.

Yeah,I went with the Stealth after breaking the normal one.

Much better.

What width for 2016 pikes? 100 or 110

BTW, so I’m not the only one who thinks the things are a be precious!

Looks like 110 from the SRAM site.

100 if its not Boost mate.

Pretty sure anyway!

Oh, is the boost for the bigger tyre boys?

Just measure the distance with a ruler…

This is my bike it came off so think they’re standard pikes:

In the shop at the mo so can’t just measure

Ta

Yeah, on the capra spec sheet it says 15x 100. 😉

Sweet as Mr…. thanks for the help. Always like to double check these things…. before I buy them and break em again 😉

Might just put it back in the shed and ride my old enduro…. She’s a bit precious the old goat…

No probs mate.

I’m the same, like to be 100% before I buy stuff!

Got a Jeffsy here so us YT lads have to stick together! 😀

Defo… there are a few people who ride other brand bikes that don’t like the germans 😯

LOL 😆

Check out the KCNC one as well. I have one for the rear axle and it’s solid.

They do one for forks as well.
