Rockshox maxle for Magura maxle?

neilp7

Hi there,
i have a pair of Maura Wotans with the Magura 20mm maxle, although for some reason it is incredibly stiff to tighten up so much so that i need a pair of grips to tighten it fully. Obviously this is going to bugger it up eventually.
I was wondering if the Rockshox 20mm maxle will fit on these forks.
The Rockshox maxles are about £45 to buy whereas the Magura one is about £65!
Any help will be much appreciated!

Nope.

Maxel is an RS product not a Magura one. Magura have not paid RS any money to use it so they have there own design.

Axel from Marz or Fox will not fit either.

I was afraid you going to say that! Looks like i may have to bite the bullet then!

Depends a bit on what year, but Magura did license RS's Maxle for their forks. My Wotan has the older, non-360, non-light version. You have to make sure you get the right version: a 360 sort of fits but won't tighten properly.

I was just about to come back to this to add that.

As the coffee has kicked in.
