00:00Stock thru-axle snap, strip, cost too much. Look through market junk, grab top 5 thru-axles
00:06for mountain bike wheels that hold wheels tight without empty wallet.
00:10First pick, Zrace MTB Fork Axle. Built for rock chokes and fox forks in 15x100 or boost 15x110.
00:19Lever smooth, threads cut clean, alloy takes rock hits.
00:23$8.38. Dirt cheap replacement for stripped factory levers.
00:29Second, HEP Universal Axle. Huge thread pitch range, P1.0 through 1.75 for front and rear hubs.
00:38Front 12x100 or 110, rear 142 or 148. $4.68. Impossible price, near-perfect rating.
00:50Great spare for pack on long rides. Third, unbranded alloy lever axle for boost setups.
00:56Fits BMC, Cube, S-Works frames. Light, stiff 70-75 aluminum, clean anodized finish that will not
01:04rust out. $8.91. Solid drop-in fix if stock proprietary axle stripped.
01:11Fourth, HEP Titanium Axle. Premium grade. Stronger than aluminum, drop spike weight fast.
01:19Fits 12x100 to 148. Costs $1192. Cheap titanium is usually trash, this one holds clamp load under
01:30hard park laps. Best bang for weight weenies. Fifth, Tropicycle Alloy Shaft. Covers weird lengths
01:38like 162 and 174-millimeter frames, plus standard 142. Standard M12 threads, simple hex key design
01:47removes weak lever points. 1055. Biafod rear triangle spacing made finding axles headache.
