Wolf Tooth Fat Thru Axles

This specific axle is designed for a 15mm diameter, 150mm hub spacing, and a 1.5mm thread pitch. You must verify these three measurements against your current fork and hub specifications before purchasing, as there is no universal standard for thru-axles.

The captive steel washer acts as a bearing surface, reducing friction against your fork leg when you tighten the axle. This protects your fork's finish from wear and ensures you get an accurate, consistent clamping load every time you install your wheel.

Yes. By optimizing the clamping load and using high-quality 7075 T6 aluminum, this axle is designed to resist the galling and seizing that often happens with lower-quality stock axles. It provides a smoother interface that makes removal much easier during routine maintenance.

While weight savings vary depending on your bike's original equipment, the primary advantage of this axle is durability and performance rather than just weight reduction. The 7075 T6 aluminum construction offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to many standard steel or lower-grade alloy axles.

Installation is straightforward and typically requires only a standard hex wrench, matching the size specified for your axle head. Because of the captive washer, you can tighten it securely without worrying about damaging the fork surface.
