4 reviews for Lightning Bolt-on Axle – Rear 12 mm x 159 mm x 1.5 Thread

  1. Dean Kathron (verified owner)

    Excellent fit and finish. Much lighter than thru axles that were on my bike.
    Definitely recommending Robert Axle Project to my friends and family.

  2. Ilia (verified owner)

    Replaced bulky stock through axles that came with my road bike with those one. Like this update: much cleaner look of a bike and weight reduction. May be not a best option for a mountain bike, as bulky throgh axles with handle give some protection to a frame. But if you don’t have intentions to crash often, buy those.

    P.S. Do not forget to compare thread on stock axles and those one before installing.

  3. Mike (verified owner)

    Fit perfect on my Framed Basswood and came sooner than expected. I will be definitely buying from here again next time I need an axle.

  4. Keith (verified owner)

    Great customer service. Axle fit perfectly. Quality is top notch. Much cleaner looking on the bike as well
