Hello,
My 2013 zesty was a warrenty replacement so came with a qr conversion kit to convert the frame to qr from 142x12.
Im looking to swtich to 142x12. I have a SS switch rear hub so will be there converter for the hub and im a bit lost as to which axles will work with the system.
The Maxle lite will work but its crazy expensive £50!! so looking at other options if anyone knows of any. Not sure if this would work from Shimano as it seems to have its own nut to thread onto instead of the Maxle which would thread into the threaded adapter in the frame?

Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

No they dont (Shimano wont work with a maxle). Novatec do maxle compatible axle... but good luck finding one!A Flock of Birds

Currently waiting for a reply off Hotlines as to which brand of axle it uses, unless anyone has a zesty and can tell me.0
