Here's a dumb one for you guys.

Right now I have my M1 with a 12mm TA axle out back. I'm running a hope bulb hub that's been converted. I had bought the axle from Intense a while ago.

I can get a cheap Hadley 12mm Axle and it says (for 2000+ Intense M1's) and it's 12mm as well. I'm just curious, it should all be the same right? Anything 12mm will slide through etc...??? So in theory I should be able to use any 12mm axle and it'll fit through my hub? It's just the different lengths that are different?

Let me know....

No... Some have a 135mm hub, and others a 150mm.

EDIT:

Just re-read.

Some TA's are different.
The one I had on my Straight-8 was very different than the one on my v-10.

If it says it will work with your year frame though, then it will probably work.

If that helps at all...

Opps.......lol I have a 135mm spaced rear. I know I wouldn't use a 12mm TA axle that was suspose to fit on a bike with 150mm rear spacing.

But I mean is, if my rear uses 135mm spacing then pretty much any 12mm TA axle should work as long as it's ment to be for a 135mm spaced hub correct?

yeah, not only the width may be different but the attachment system: pinch bolts? screw in? from which side? etc.

If you've got one of the M1s where the 12mm thru axle setup is very similar to a QR style dropout, and you need an extra axle PM me i'll give ya one for $5

The rear end on my M1 (it's a 2002) has like one giant hole where you insert these little adapters to make it QR or to make it 12mm TA.

The axle doesn't look like anything special. It's just a 12mm TA axle as far as I can see, just slides in one side and you tighten the nut on the other. Besides I have to jerry rig it to hold it so I can tighten it (on one end it's just a nub with a hole through it, so I put a QR squewer? through it to hold it, fits perfect ) so that was why I was asking.

If this doesn't fall through with the Hadley one I'll let you know. I know the Hadley one I'm looking at states for a M1, 2000+ years. I know they use a one key release deal on some of theirs. I know this one does not have that key'ed release system.

The axle itself is different for each particular bike, depending on the way it accaches.
If the axle says it's suppoded to fit your bike it should fit.......
