Does anyone know the complete spec for the axle, is it 9/9.5/10mm axle and how long?
Current charge dish wheelset is long enough for tophat axle converters & thread left to fit the track nuts easily but, the mach1's need a longer one not sure what to order :?

Asked retailer they just said they were built up by Raleigh tru-build and all pre-boxed for dispatch so spec is unknown to them, have only found an axle replacement at halfords so far :-/ but not sure what size to order may have to just dismantle and take current axle to lbs0

Typically, fronts will be 9mm and rears 10mm, but not knowing whether the axle is a proprietary one means whether you can swap or not you'll only be able to tell once you take them apart.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

hopefully be able to find a lightweight upgrade or at least non-cheddar metal at lbs0 -

Right after a trip to lbs at lunchtime, I've ended up with a set of cone spanners & a 175mm 9.5mm axle which I may keep as a spare for something..managed to get the current axle out and was tough job after I pre rounded the locking nut and the cone deciding to unwind with it :roll:
Figured I need 145mm length but, still struggling figuring whether its 9/10mm. Think I'll be making a stop to another lbs after work, see if they know more & hopefully in stock0
