Wheels Manufacturing Axle #20

No, this is specifically designed for tandem hubs. Tandem hubs require longer, more robust axles to handle the increased load and stress of two riders, so it will likely be too long and have the wrong spacing for a standard solo bike.

4130 alloy steel is known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and toughness. By heat-treating this material, Wheels Manufacturing creates an axle that is incredibly strong under heavy loads but retains enough flexibility to resist snapping or becoming brittle over time.

No, this product is the axle shaft only. You will need to reuse your existing cones and locknuts or purchase them separately to match your specific hub's requirements.

Rolled threads are formed by pressing the metal rather than cutting it away, which maintains the grain structure of the steel and makes the threads significantly stronger. This process also results in a smoother finish, allowing your cones and locknuts to thread on easily without binding.

While it is technically possible to cut a solid steel axle, it is not recommended unless you have the proper tools to ensure a perfectly square, burr-free cut. Because this is a heat-treated, high-strength component, cutting it can be difficult and may compromise the integrity of the threads if not done precisely.
