  1. Aaron

    Fits my Cannondale SystemSix rear wheel perfectly.

  2. Florian (verified owner)

    Bought the axles for my Cannondale SystemSix, they look slick and are probably more aero than the stock axles. Plus they are lighter. All in all very fine craftsmanship.

  3. Markku (verified owner)

    Bought this to my Cannondale SystemSix. Fits perfectly and looks a lot better than the bulky stock axel and saves about 30 grams of weight at the same time.

  4. Ludo Vanherf (verified owner)

    Fits perfectly on the rear wheel of my LOOK 785 DISC. Is also light.

  5. Paul Miller

    A big thank you to Tory and his excellent customer service. He went out his way to confirm I had ordered the correct rear axle, swiftly and professionally. I can confirm this Mavic Speed Release (LIG 624) fits my 2019/20 Cannondale CAAD13 rear dropouts, it’s certainly lighter than the stock lever axle and it looks sleek and less cluttered down the back end.
    Once again thanks for your excellent customer service and for a great product.

  6. David Edward Barrientos (verified owner)

    Great product and it worked flawlessly. Thank You

  7. Al (verified owner)

    I bought this axle and its front partner to replace the very non-aero speed release axles on my new aero Cannondale SystemSix. They fit and work perfectly.

  8. Dr. A. Zellner (verified owner)

    Fits my Cannondale System Six flawlessly.
    Half the weight of the oem axle.

  9. [email protected] (verified owner)

    Perfect replacement to the bulky Mavic Speed Release axles that came with my 2020 LOOK 795 Blade RS. I like the thought of the Speed Release, but didn’t like the weight and never intend to rapidly replace wheels. I was about to re-tap my drop-outs to standard 12×1.0 thread and then luckily happened to come across this site. Thank the good lord!! I feel privileged to be running these… I am grateful Robert Axle project decided to ‘problem solve’ bikes plagued (or blessed..sorry, trying to be nice) with Mavic Speed Release. LOL. Received quickly and impressed by the precision machining. Just in love. Thank you guys!

  10. CJ (verified owner)

    Amazing product. I had an issue and stripped the threads to the thru axle on my bike. The sizing sheet provided by Robert Axle project made it super easy to confirm that I got the right thru axel for my Cannondale Topstone Carbon gravel bike. Came really quick and a high quality product!

  11. Mike (verified owner)

    Very nicely made product and they sent some unsolicited help to a comment I made when ordering.

    I wish every company was as well run.

  12. Artis Kaufmanis (verified owner)

    Nice product and very fast shiping,within six days to Latvia.

  13. Andy (verified owner)

    Mavic Speed Release axles are nice if you’re racing, but I want that superclean look on my Wilier Filante SLR, and this was the perfect solution. Love the axle finder!

  14. Chris

    Fits my Look 785 Huez RS disc perfectly!

  15. Andy (verified owner)

    Perfect fit for a SuperSix EVO rear.

  16. Aleks (verified owner)

    Worked great for my cannondale. Great service and quick delivery.

  17. Vincent Borg (verified owner)

    Absolutely perfect. Fits like a glove on my Wilier Filante and it solved that slight side play issue which I had with the mavics. Very clean look. Will get another pair for sure. Excellent service and very fast delivery. One suggestion if I may, more EU retailers.
