My bike came with one of these. I’ve been used to the quick release variety, but quickly came to love the simplicity of the big aluminum bolt. I keep a 6mm wrench in the car, with gaffer’s tape wrapped around it to keep it from going in too far which keeps it from hitting the fork leg. Works really well and saves weight.I found it saves even more weight when you leave the axle at home and are at the trail head with a bike and a front wheel, and no way to connect the two. Thus, I find that a second one of these in the car accommodates my occasional derp.

I purchased this to replace the QR Maxle on my SID WC and I think this is the best option. I know there are two different designs of the QR Maxles but the ones that come stock on the SID that have a little flange you torque against suck as that flange always bends. The Maxle stealth is brain dead simple and lighter than all of the others. Yes you need an Allan key to remove your front wheel but you should already have one on your multi-tool. In a race it might take me longer to change a flat, but if I’ve got a flat, I’ve lost far more time than it will take me use an Allan key to remove my wheel.Pros:- Lightest Maxle- No QR that breaksCons:- Requires an Allan key

Works perfect on my Marin bike, i got this to replace the original latch system type axle because it was starting to give at the opening where you tighten the axle. I find it easier to use a T- allen wrench to tighten the axle.

Identical original become non removable and stripped the hex end. Had to use easy out to remove stripped part.

Perfect fit for my 2017 Trek Remedy 8 and the Rockshox Pike up front. Just ordered a rear one too! No more concerns around the lever accidentally opening or over tightening. 9-13NM DOES THE TRICK.

My new/old fat tire bike was missing front axle when I bought it. This one fit perfectly and threaded into the left dropout of the Rockshox Bluto fork. Lighter and stronger than a quick release.

HOLY COW!, it’s another bolt thru axle I purchased.. this one was for my fork … and you know what?.. it works just like a real axle except for not having that stupid lever .. which is a bad idea IMO anyway.. I mean how many of you ride w/o a multi tool.. who needs the quick lever other than wheel theives?

Item received is exactly as advertised. Perfect size and matches the original factory hub that came on the bike. Would recommend.
