    I know Orange give you a option to have the rear 5/Patriot
    fitted with a axle so you may be able to buy one.
    But the other end screws into your frame.

    TBH you will have a bit of fun finding one.

    As that hub was really made for use with the saint/hone 10mm axle.

    options. get a saint one and fit a nut to the threaded side, go to a machine shop and get them to thread a bit of 10mm rod and use that.

    The Maxle option on the Orange 5 is 12mm, not 10mm.

    Frames needs to be built to use it. It's not something that can be retro-fitted.

    EDIT:

    Some frame's replaceable dropouts allow conversion to a maxle.
