135mm/10mm bolt on axle
- Thread starter IH8Rice
- Start date
I use an Atomlab Pimp 135 X10 "bolt on" back wheel on my trail bike - similar to fun nuts but work in regular dropout, unlike the issues you had with that King hub. Not as nice as a King, but it would work on your frame.
i got another axle from King to convert it to a standard "bolt on" axle, but i cant find the axle anywhere.
the fub bolt axle i had in there is getting sold
the hadley is the absolute best i have ever run, notched, 6mm one sided bolt, never slipped moved or anything...
I have one available with a DT Swiss hub ... [size=-5]cough cough ... look below ... [/size]
okay, lets start again.
i have a brand new Chris King rear hub. i need a axle. not a wheel, not a hub, a axle

Maybe just go with a 10x135 King axle and run a DT RWS skewer?
Check this one out: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=39200
Not sure about the length, drop CRC an e-mail and confirm. They also have a DT axle for this application in the web shop, but I think they are on back order.

i had a problem finding one when i got my I9s awhile ago
my LBS was nice enough to get specialized to ship over a rear hub with an axle and sold me the axle and they kept the hub to sell

id be more than happy with that DT skewer...i didnt even know it existed. i have the 10x135 CK axle, so im guessing this will work eh?

Glad I could help out.

QBP will have the DT Swiss to my buddy's shop Wednesday....the Brits might take a few days (weeks) longer.

Currently OOS at the cheapest place that sells them, but I prefer the Hadley axle (simple, light, and effective with no QR lever to damage in a crash/grind) mentioned above over the RWS or rear Maxle -

yup that is the one i used for the past 3 years not a problem ever...
dont know how i missed that...was that linked from their site?
hmm, wish i woulda seen this earlier. i guess ill order this when its in stock and sell the RWS later on
yep right from the transition website.
Call mr and mrs Hadley. They will sell and ship direct to you. Give a 'what part' thread more than 1/2 an hour, and you will tend to get more and possibly better suggestions..
The RWS is much lighter than either of those alternatives...
I thought you'd care since you're running King's hahah

yeah i shoulda given it more time, but i can still get both and sell the RWS for when i do get the Hadley axleCall mr and mrs Hadley. They will sell and ship direct to you. Give a 'what part' thread more than 1/2 an hour, and you will tend to get more and possibly better suggestions..
weight isnt that much of a concern...i would have went with another Hadley hub, but the CK deal is too cheap to pass up
I'll remember this when you finally get fed up with your CK and go back to Hadley.
Actually tho, I don't blame you. Sh*ts expensive. Me, I would never buy a CK after having personally witness someone torque through the ring drive*.
*edit: it was a big guy (around 220lbs) riding a CK hub on his trials bike, so very high torque app. I wouldn't be worried about it for xc or dh

and ive seen people destroy their Hadley's before too. the King's quality is far better than the Hadleys...as is their EP price....two hubs for $265??? dear diary, jackpot.I'll remember this when you finally get fed up with your CK and go back to Hadley.

They can both get trashed, but from what I've seen/heard, Hadley gets the win for ease of maintenance and service.
Also, can you just call up CK and order spare parts, or do you have to go through one of their distros/dealers?
the Kings are easy to work on, but even easier with their "special" tools.
and yes, you can call up CK to get anything you need. i had to order a new axle since i bought the Fun Bolt option thinking it would work with a thru axle...it doesnt. the guy was a flake when i asked him about why they didnt have a 83mm BB ( i wanted to buy the 83mm sleeve for my 68/73 CK bb, but they dont make it that size bb.) i ordered the new axle direct and it came in 2 days.
ive always had Hadley hubs for the past 9 years, so im anxious to see how long the newer CK hubs last.
Steve, you know I just like to pick on you, right? I'm curious to see how they hold up too.
I'm more curious to see Profile's new 204pt hub

The Hadley 135x10mm axle is 56g, 7g lighter than the RWS in the same size - not that it matters
yeah, i just pooped approx 400gramsThe Hadley 135x10mm axle is 56g, 7g lighter than the RWS in the same size - not that it matters
must spread rep!
Holy crap! I did not know that...The Hadley 135x10mm axle is 56g, 7g lighter than the RWS in the same size - not that it matters
Might have to pick up their 12x150 axle if they're so damn light....
