'Skraxles'

chris.d.w

I ahve a new bike which use a form of skraxles, sessentialy its just a simple bolt through axle with a nut type thing on one end that you need to use a 13mm spanner to undo.

Im looking to change them as everytime i remove the wheel, during the 're-tightening' stage, some of the droput is scoured away, so looking at something like the Superstar ones which have a quick release part which will hopefully reduce this 'scouring'

Essentially my question is...

On Superstar they have 9mm front and 10 mm rear. Is this the standard sizes for skraxles, or is there both 9mm and 10mm versions for the rear. and superstar are only stocking the 10mm??

if it helps, my hubs are Specialized Stout hubs

Thanks in advance

change the nuts to ones with washers built in.

IIRC stout front is a 9mm and rear is 10mm but I did not know the rear was a through axle.

remove your axles and measure the diameter.

just a thought are your axle pull out versions?

Brilliant, thanks for that!

Will pull them out and give them a measure, just not really sure with these axles as i have never dealt with them before, didnt even know they existed till i got this bike!

Not entirely sure what 'pull out' means but...

They looks similar to these:


With a similar bolt on tother side, just a bit smaller.[/img]

so they are through axles. then yes the n some of the SuperStar ones will work.
