Wheels Manufacturing Axle-14

This axle is designed specifically for Shimano and Japanese-style front hubs. Before purchasing, ensure your hub requires a 9mm diameter solid axle with a 1mm thread pitch.

The 155mm length is standard for many front hubs, but you should measure your current axle from end to end. If your existing axle is significantly longer or shorter, this replacement may not provide enough thread engagement or could interfere with your frame dropouts.

No, this is a solid axle designed for use with axle nuts, not quick-release skewers. It is intended for hubs that use a threaded nut system to secure the wheel to the frame.

4130 alloy steel is an industry standard for bicycle components because it offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It is heat-treated to ensure the axle resists bending and fatigue under the stress of daily riding.

You will need standard cone wrenches to adjust your hub bearings and a wrench to tighten the locknuts. The precision-rolled threads on this axle make threading your existing cones and locknuts straightforward, but proper bearing adjustment is essential for smooth rotation.
