Quick release axles - MTBIKER.shop

There are two main types of bicycle wheel axles. Quick-releases are a type of axle that has been used in bicycles for many years. They consist of a lever cam mechanism and a threaded nut. The axle passes through the wheel hub and the lever is used to tighten or loosen the nut, allowing for quick and easy removal and installation of wheels.

Here is a brief specification of the quick-releases:

Quick releases:

Axle diameter: The diameter of the quick release axle can vary depending on the specific model or brand of bike. Quick release hubs have a hollow axle with a diameter of 9 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear, through which a quick release with a diameter of 5 mm passes.
Length: The length of the quick release axle is determined by the width of the hub. It should be long enough to pass through and extend beyond the hub, allowing for proper tightening and securing of the wheel. Typical axle lengths for rear hubs are 130 or 135 mm and 100 mm for front hubs, but you will need to measure the axle length specifically for your hub.
Lever mechanism: A lever mechanism is designed to easily tighten and loosen a quick-release axle. It usually consists of a lever that can be opened or closed, allowing for quick and convenient removal or installation of the wheel.

Great shop and website for cyclists. Wide range of products.

Verified customer

Fast delivery of goods. Large selection of quality products. Good communication.

Speed, good prices and assortment

Specifically with this purchase, I liked that MT BIKER met me halfway regarding the price of the cycling radar. In another e-shop, it was at a lower price, MT BIKER provided me with a discount coupon to match it. I thank you for your helpfulness.
