Lightning Bolt-on Axle – Front 12 mm x 145 mm x 1.5 Thread
$ 42.00
After years of mountain biking with thru-axles with bulky handles that seemed to strike every trailside obstacle, we needed a better option.
Our Lightning Bolt-On thru axles offer the highest quality, simple, lightweight alternative to that bulky handle. Available in a range of sizes that fit both front and rear wheels on all types of thru-axle equipped bikes. Learn about compatibility with Hexlox security systems.

I ordered this unusual sized axle to make a Giant front wheel hub integrate with a Van Dessel fork. Robert Axle Project was the ONLY source I could locate after scouring the web for almost 2 hours. I placed my order and was contacted within minutes to verify my odd-ball sized request (good customer support). The product arrived a few days thereafter and presto ! It fit great. Thanks for the great product availability and customer service.
