Looking for a replacement. Preferably not a quick release like this was.

This one fractured on the quick release side where the two small through holes are located on the main shaft.

The dimensions on it are 150x12mm

It is a 2012 GT fury 2.0.

Am I good to just get any 150/12 through axle?

Thanks.

Dimensions of the quick-release Maxle are

overall length: 180mm
thread length: 20mm
M12x1.75

Hub width:150mm

The dimensions of this appear to be boost given the available components despite the dropouts not actually having the boost notches. The dropouts are flat and measure 150mm on the inside dimensions.


Options for non Maxle(without quick release include)

Maxle rear stealth (is a non quick release skewered version, but appears to be a discontinued item)

It's f*cking absurd that there are so many permutations and combinations of components. Owning one bicycle i've accumulated more tools than in my lifetime of owning numerous different age/make/model/style of motorcycles. Bicycle industry manufacturers are c*nts. Rant over.

it might be easier to repair it. The GT fury uses a maxle that screws into the derailleur hanger. so it might be easier to just contact GT and ask them to warranty it or at leased help you with finding a maxle.

is this what the axle looks like? I don't think you're going to find the correct axle somewhere online. but you can try this; https://robertaxleproject.com/shop/lightning-bolt-on-axle-rear-12mm-x-180-mm-x-1-75-thread/ it looks promising. you'll probably have to add some spacers on the bolt side.


this site might work too.

the Maxle 150 Flat 182mm 12x1.75 20mm 34g option

i've had used a 148 boost spacing axle for a norco shore before.
heres the one I used;

heres one with 1.75 thread pitch

Thanks for the responses, and the available options that have been linked.

The axles I linked should work despite not being boost. I'm aware the GT is non boost. It was made pre-boost standard as far as I"m aware. The boost standard should only really effect the hub, as long as the axle is the right overall length/threaded length and pitch it does the same thing.

On my Reign I switched from a QR maxle to the "stealth" which seams much lighter/stronger.

This seems to be the size you'd need, not sure if thats what you're looking for.
