Wtd: 12mm x 135mm Rear Thru Axle Bolt

27 Apr 2011, 22:38
I have just got a new frame and only realised it comes without QR dropouts and so i need a 12mm x 135mm thru axle.

I am in the process or getting a new rear wheel but dont have the actual axle, does anyone know where i can pick up an axle that would fit for cheap as CRC dont have them and Superstar are sold out?

All help much appreciated. Cheers, Shane

what frame is it sometimes you need the exact axle from the manufacturer and cant use anything else

Its a Commencal Meta 6, i had an 09 but cracked the frame so they gave me a 2011 with 20mm dropouts. Thanks for your help.

Anyone know where to pick up a 12mm maxle? CRC are sold out and not many places seem to have them in stock, any help much appreciated. Cheers, Shane
