Giant Road Bike Front Thru Axle

This axle is designed for a 12mm diameter and 100mm hub spacing, which is a common standard for many road and gravel bikes. However, you must also verify the thread pitch of your fork to ensure compatibility, as this varies between manufacturers.

The removable lever allows you to tighten your wheel securely with extra leverage, then detach the handle to save weight and achieve a cleaner, more aerodynamic look. It also prevents the lever from snagging on trail debris if you are riding gravel.

Yes, you can leave the lever attached if you prefer the convenience of tool-free wheel removal. The removable feature is entirely optional and serves as a preference for aesthetics or weight savings.

This axle is designed for standard road and gravel riding and may not be compatible with all indoor trainers. Check your trainer manufacturer's specific adapter requirements, as many trainers require a dedicated trainer-specific axle.

While the hub spacing is 100mm, the total length of the axle depends on the specific fork design and thread pitch. You should measure your current thru-axle's total length and check your fork's thread pitch specifications before purchasing.
