    Got a Lighting Bolt for the front wheel on my Trek Boone (15 mm x 138mm x 1.5 Thread) to replace the existing quick release. The Lighting Bolt is a perfect fit and half the weight. Very pleased with the quality of the product.

  2. P.M. IJsselstein (verified owner)

    Fits like a glove on my trek 920, plus i can fit my ortlieb panniers better without the quick release in the way. Also very pleased with the superfast 4 day delivery to the Netherlands!

  3. Dominic (verified owner)

    Perfect fit for my trek Boone 5 2017 61 cm. I accidentally left my thru-axle on top of my car when I harnessed my bike to my roof rack!🤣 When I drove off into the freeway I saw something roll away from my rearview window lol. I went to 7 local bike shops and they didn’t have anything close to what I needed. Found this website and what do you know! Shipping was within 3days of purchase as well! Great company! Save the stress of finding your thru-axle and just go with these guys!

    I had a friend who bought a bike from his friend’s recently widowed wife. The front axle on this Trek Boone could not be found and he did not want to bother her further.
    Of course Trek was out of stock for the foreseeable future, leaving him wondering if his good deed had been in vain.
    I then discovered the Robert Axle Project, and low and behold the bike is whole again!
    It was super simple to find what we needed, and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much.

    Precise, strong, better than stock replacement. Great axle finding software—clears up all of the confusion!
