The bike I recently ordered (05 SX Trail) lists the rear hub spec as "Specialized Stout 36h, bolt-on axle." I am working on building a new wheelset for my other bike (04 Enduro Pro) with the goal being wheelset interchangeability between the two bikes.

I have no experience with any type of rear axle other than standard QR. Is there a rear hub that will fill the bill and work for both bikes?

TIA.

There are 2 numbers you need to know: Axle width and axle diameter. Normal rear ends are 135mm x 10mm. I believe that both the Specialized frames are like that. Bolt-on vs. QR are just 2 different ways of attaching a wheel to a frame.

Repack is correct, the wheel will fit both frames. The Stout hub simply has a solid, bolt on axle in place of the QR - it's the same size.
