Wheels Manufacturing Steel Axle

This axle is designed for hubs with 126mm spacing and features 9.5mm x 26tpi threads, which are common on many Taiwanese-manufactured hubs. Before purchasing, verify your current axle's thread pitch and length to ensure compatibility, as standards can vary significantly between manufacturers.

4130 alloy steel is an aircraft-quality material known for its high strength-to-weight ratio. Heat-treating this steel significantly increases its durability and resistance to bending, providing a more reliable and longer-lasting foundation for your wheel compared to standard mild steel axles.

This is a hollow axle. The hollow design allows for the use of a quick-release skewer, which makes wheel removal and installation much faster and easier than a solid, bolt-on axle.

Yes, this is an excellent replacement for older wheelsets that utilize 126mm rear spacing. It is specifically engineered to restore the structural integrity of classic or standard hubs that have seen significant wear.

You will need standard cone wrenches to adjust your hub's cones and locknuts properly once the axle is installed. If you are replacing the axle, you will also need to disassemble your hub, so having a set of quality cone wrenches and bearing grease on hand is recommended.
