I can't see these anywhere. Hope do a Fatsno with a 10mm axle conversion for the 170mm hub but no bike company seems to make an axle. I've got in mind a DT Swiss RWS like this:

Has anyone seen anything available or know somewhere that can machine one? I know I could get a 10mm threaded bar and some nuts but...

Cheers

Frustrating with all these new hub 'standards' and yet the component manufacturers haven't caught-up. Hope make both 170/177 and 190/197 through-axle hubs and yet try finding a suitable through-axle in the UK. Both mine I've sourced from China. Market seems to have settled on 12mm rears and 15mm fronts for fatbikes too, so 10mm might be tricky. Paragon Machine Works in the US might do a one-off?
