  1. Kelly Simpson (verified owner)

    Great axle for my bike. It went on my bike in seconds and secures wheel much better than a QR axle ever did.

  2. Christopher R Dodson (verified owner)

    Secure,low profile, perfect fit, works and looks better than a clunky qr.
    Ordering and shipping were quick and easy.
    Love it!

  3. Jack Adler (verified owner)

    Really wanted to replace my stock QR axle with a lightweight, good looking, strong axle. So glad I discovered the Robert Axle Project. Fit the bill exactly, front and back.

    I purchased this axle using the fit finder since the Rock Shox SID Ultimate fork wasn’t in my possession yet. Turns out the boost axle that came with it was 10mm shorter than the RAP 158mm that arrived. I contacted Tory in C/S and emailed some pictures to her to show I indeed did have boost spacing on the fork. She did everything I hoped she would in the circumstance by refunding part of the purchase price so I wasn’t out of pocket with having to return the axle and is contacting SRAM to verify what has changed with their fork dimensions. I’m very pleased with the service I received and wouldn’t hesitate to purchase again or recommend someone else does.

    Great product, fine machining. Fits perfectly. Very easy ordering on the website. Glad I made the purchase, no more fumbling with QR thru-axles.

  6. Eric A Hart (verified owner)

    Love it! Secure mounting and cleaner look.

  7. The Mighty Mighty Pandoo (verified owner)

    Perfect!!!

    Have a Bombtrack Beyond Plus.
    I got ahold of a BPC fork that didn’t come with an axle. This is the one!!!

    Looks good too. Thinking of buying a rear one to match.

    Perfect fit, light & strong, best secure axle set.
