Wolf Tooth Rear Thru Axle

You need to match three specific measurements: the axle diameter (12mm), the total length (178mm), and the thread pitch (1.5mm). Check your current axle or your bike frame's specifications to ensure these numbers align perfectly before purchasing.

The captive steel washer acts as a bearing surface that minimizes friction against your frame's dropout. This allows you to convert more of your tightening torque into actual clamping force, resulting in a stiffer, more secure wheel interface.

Yes. By reducing friction and preventing the axle from galling or biting into the frame material, this design ensures that the axle remains easy to remove and install, even after long periods of use.

No, thru-axles are not universal. While this axle fits frames requiring a 12x178mm dimension with a 1.5mm thread pitch, you must verify your specific frame's requirements, as different manufacturers use varying lengths and thread pitches.

Steel is significantly more durable and resistant to wear than aluminum. This makes it an excellent choice for riders who frequently remove their wheels or want a long-term, reliable upgrade that won't gall or strip over time.
