What way does a maxle ultimate thread? Also what do you do if you shear it. 2014 rockshox pike
All axles thread like a regular bolt. Righty-tighty lefty-loosey. If you shear the handle off, be prepared to drill and use an easy out.
Yea we used an easy out so now i have another question. Idk what thru axle to get, i.e. do i have to get a maxle thru axle or can i get a regular one?
20mm Maxles on Boxxers should be replaced with genuine maxle replacements. Any other maxle (15mm front or 12mm rear), I would strongly advise replacing with something else. Maxles are overly expensive and more prone to failure than many alternatives.
However bear in mind I hate quick-release things in general, so I am a little biased here...
I'm a fan of Burgtecs offerings re: aftermarket axles. They are well designed (for example not having a stupid taper that leaves your driveside rear hub main bearing completely unsupported!!! Looking at you Syntace...) and a good price.
So is this a typo on their website? A Shimano Zee would be ideal, I think, if correct. What about the chainline? The 53mm BOOST issue.
Upon checking with micrometers, the crankset has 23.97mm and 23.96mm axle diameters. So I guess we'll be using a Shimano or Raceface Crankset. The next question is about that chainline. It appears a Shimano Zee will NOT work.
Yeah, non-Boost cranks often work fine on Boost-spaced bikes, but in your case, it's unlikely that the Zee cranks would fit unless you mounted the chainring on the outside - which would give you a chainline closer to 57mm and limit you to a 30t ring as the smallest.
SLX cranks are a great option for the money, except for the proprietary chainring spacing...
I suggest RaceFace Aeffect. You can use the same BB, and you'll have a large option of RaceFace and third-party chainrings - direct mount, and otherwise.
Hi All who may know more than i do, well hopefully you do hence my question.
I run a 11 x 1 shimano XT set up with Hope cranks and Hope hubs, i want to upgrade to 12 x 1, what is the best route as i wanted to stick to shimano if possible but would change to scam sorry sram if needs must.

Cheers for any help
You'll need a cassette, microspline freehub body, chain, derailleur Shifter and compatible chainring.
Cheers Ajax- ripper, thought as much, over time it is lol, last question, do you know if the 12 speed shimano freehub would fit straight on to the hope hubs i have that at he moment have the 11 speed freehub, hope pro 4 hub

You'll need the appropriate freehub body for your hub.

Pretty sure Sunrace make a 12sp hg body cassette. Might save the cost of the freehub body swap for now.
You can also work a Deore/SLX 11/12 speed rear derailleur with your 11sp shifter and run a wider ratio 11-51 cassette if thats what you are looking for.
New question for a pretty new bike with a SRAM (Eagle?) AXS derailleur.
Ideally I'm hoping to fix myself or work with SRAM. I noticed sometimes when shifting to a harder gear, I hear the digital AXS noise right when I hit the paddle, but the derailleur doesn't move. I've noticed this happens mostly when riding statically on the bike, like on a climb on the saddle, and when I change the compression/sag, it does something to initiate the shifting, and does shift fine into gear. So usually it's fine on the trail. Taking a closer look putting the bike on a stand, the issue is more apparent: I hear the noise but the derailleur usually doesn't move, especially going to a harder gear. The only thing I can think is that it's a chain length issue? Firmware has been updated, but same issue. I don't think it's a micro adjust thing, because there's no shifting noise or delay besides the main pause, but I could be wrong. Basically, it's almost like it works fine on trails as they're usually bumpy enough for any small bump/change in shock compression to 'help' the shifting, but if I were say climbing up a road and not moving around a bunch, the derailleur many times doesn't respond, until I get off the saddle. Thanks for any help.
