    After seeing the Nalid system fail(specifically on the front on two Marin bikes), I needed a solution. Frustrated at the over-engineered, silly design of the Nalid, I was VERY glad to see Robert Axle Proj. finally came through! The replacement was simple, made with quality alloy, and was lever-free. Instructions were clear and design was a night-and-day difference, and SAFE. I ordered a set, front and rear. Thanks, Friends! We all appreciate your designs and support!!

    Hey there!

    The mechanism on my NAILD axle broke (apparently, a common occurrence). Wanted to replace it and apply Hexlox to it in the same fashion a orher bolts on my bike. Discovered you guys via the Hexlox website, but only found your NAILD replacement axle specifically on your website. Very happy that I did as I was advised to purchase a new carbon fork for a few hundred bucks if I wanted to get rid of the whole NAILD setup. Thanks so much for the rescue and my bike is back to cruising like a dream 😉

    Perfect replacement for the awful NAILD system. 10/10 fit and finish, quick delivery and easy install. Newly installed, so I can’t speak to the durability, but everything looks high quality and exactly as advertised.

    Quality product with perfect fit to replace your Naild axle. A bit expensive but worth it. Shipping to Canada was extremely quick and affordable.

    The Naild axle was a nice idea but too complex and not durable enough therefore not dependable.

    Would be nice if they included a hex key.

    Perfect replacement with good instructions

    Awesome product and even better service! Was putting on new tires before a gravel race when the terrible stock NAILD front axle would not engage or tighten. Tory from Robert Axle Product got the replacement shipment expedited for me and I got both axles installed before race day. (I did the rear axle as well). No more overly-complicated axles.

    The product is beautifully machined and made in USA! Thank you Robert Axle Project for making a great product with a great team standing behind it. Will recommend to friends and use on future builds.
    Cheers!
