What is thru axle. I understand quick release as my judy tt forks use this. So i am aware of what a hub is like with no fork on etc.


Would it be that the forks dropouts are closed circles and that to remove them you would have to undo a nut at each side and then slide the axle totally out from the hub and through one side of the fork or am i way off.

Thanks in advance.



also, what advantage is this to quick release apart from things like anti theft (of your wheel)

you are correct, and the benefit is added stiffness and strength. You might notice motorcycle wheels dont come in quick release format.

Does anyone run thru axles and use a roof rack?
The trays that force you to remove your front wheel specifically.

It would seem like a giant hassle...

Use a 20mm Fork Up.

If you're talking about your front 20mm axle mount, a Hurricane Fork Up would take care of that for your tray mount.

I think they make adapters for this.

Just to clarify, like a brother. One who knows too much about bikes and is really scarcastic. I'm expecting a bitingly witty burn to come my way in a bit.

lol er thanks BJ

well i'm just a beginner and when I read all this stuff i dont know what you guys are talking about. And by asking questions i can find out.

In the last days i have asked about thru axles, and what rotors fit on which forks and what international standard is. And also started a little post about the new kona stuff.





Maybe you are right

You can also use the search function on this site and find the answers to any of your questions-much better than starting new threads asking very basic questions.

dogboy you are a genius. lets hops the dh/freeride world reads this and stops posting useless threads. the search function? what a brilliant idea!!! the only problem dogboy is now you will have to start a thread to show everyone how to use the search deal on this site, which will evolve into into random discussions about the type of search to do, what should i search for, what is google, can i find my lost cat with the mtbr search, etc, etc.
