Wheels Manufacturing Axle-04

The Axle-04 is specifically engineered for Shimano and Japanese-style rear hubs with 135mm spacing. As long as your hub matches these specifications and uses a 10mm diameter axle, it should be a direct replacement.

Using 4130 alloy steel provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard steel. Because it is heat-treated, the axle is significantly more resistant to bending and fatigue under the stress of daily riding.

Yes, this is a hollow axle, which is designed specifically to accommodate a quick-release skewer mechanism. It allows the skewer rod to pass through the center of the axle to secure the wheel to the frame.

This axle measures 146mm in total length. You should measure your current axle from end to end; if it matches this length and your hub spacing is 135mm, this part will be compatible.

Rolled threads are structurally stronger and smoother than cut threads because the metal is displaced rather than removed. This results in a more precise fit for your cones and locknuts, making assembly easier and reducing the risk of cross-threading.
