I need a light 150x12 thru axle for my I9s on my new 2009 Intense SS. I want something light. Where are people getting the ti axles? Are the ti axles lighter than the alloy ones?
Ideas?

Ti. is heavier then an aluminum axle.

get a king and call it a day,I've owned mine now for 7 years.

If you want nice: go for a Hadley axel. Cheap: Azonic Recoil.

I have 135 dropouts on my SS and the 12mm Hadley axel I got is perfect. The ends are exactly the right size to sit inside the stepped dropout. I haven't tried the Azonic, but it has axel nuts that may be the same size as well. If not, the spacers should work.

Azonic Recoil is light and cheap

 

[Biffff]

I 2nd the Azonic..........good quality and very light.

What brand is the axle that Intense sells?

This is a little off topic, but my friend wants to replace his VERY heavy thru axle on his '09 glory but both the hadley and azonic are too short. Only able to get the nuts on three or four turns. Anyone hear of any other options that have worked for them?

Sounds like your putting a 135mm axle on a 150mm frame.

The Hadley is my favorite axle. It's light, and you only need one allen wrench to take it off.

Nope. My Karpiel (new one, 150mm rear end) came with an axel. Used that instead of the azonic one that came with my wheelset. Too short. Then he ordered a hadley in 150mm. Still too short. The stock Giant axle is really long.

I've been using the Azonic Recoil on my Glory for a few years with no problems. Sun Ringle 12x150mm hubs.

Glorys come with an extra drive side dropout for using a Maxle. I'd run that if I had one.

Try a metal supplier.
you need an account with these guys, but it's an example

I belive its their own.

Some bikes have a bit thicker dropouts than others, seen it before were you just have to find a longer axle, I belive its been said, the azonic works well

For those looking for glory axles (alloy to replace steel), these guys make them here in aus:

If you contact them I'm sure they'd be more than happy to post.

Hadley makes an axle that will fit the Glory, we've done it lots of times. You have to call Hadley and get it. Just ask for the longest one, I think it is a 208mm (The 193mm is the standard "150" axle, and the one that BTI sells). I had to get the same one for my Commencal.

Also, the Hadley is awesome for the Intense dropouts, fits in the recess like it was made for it. It's the 193mm one that you want for that, get it.

Ti axles are about as stupid as it gets, heavier, way more expensive, and offer no advantages at all. Harder to round out I suppose, but it's an 8mm allen for god's sake, just don't be a hack mechanic.

I used one off of my old Turner DHR for my SS. (Hadley made)
You should be able to call Hadley and get something that will fit.
I was a little perplexed as to what Intense was expecting you to use.


edit: I have the 135mm dropouts and used a 12 x 135 axle. You should still be able to get something from Haldey.

Thanks alot!

you can also use the Sun-Ringle 150mm axle on the 09 Glory. works with a nut and with the maxle dropout.

 

[Salami]

I belive its their own.

I think it is Sun Ringle. I had a dealer order one for me. He said he ordered it from Intense but it came in a Sun Ringle bag. It was labeled the Stiffy if I remember correctly.

Either way, for the 12x135mm it weighed 65 grams.

 

[Kntr]

I ordered the Intense axle today and was told it was a Sun Ringle.

The last time I checked, the Hadley axle was only very slightly more expensive than the Azonic and seems to work much better on the Intenses. Like mentioned above, it seems as if it was designed specifically for Intense dropouts.

BETD makes a lot of stuff, that's not mentioned on their website, among theat is a axle for the glory ( igot mine there!)
