Hi folks, question for the fellow Banshee Spitfire owners out there. Does anyone know the exact specs for a replacement axle on a 142x12 dropout 2014 Spitfire..?
Due to my own hamfistedness I need to replace the Banshee one and I can get a Maxle Stealth in a day or so rather than the bike being out of action for a week or more if i order an OEM replacement.
I need the axle length, thread length and pitch if anyone knows. Can't find it on the net anywhere.
When mine snapped in the Alps, I replaced it with a standard Maxle like this
Seems to fit perfectly and still on the bike 6 months later!
Thanks for the tip, I have a slight preference for the leverless, stealth axle's but as they seem to come in a huge variety of lengths I might just have to go with what works..
Ok thanks to edge85 pointing me in the right direction and a wee bit of google-fu I believe I have narrowed down the correct part.
Incase anyone else ends up here looking for the same thing I think it's SRAM part no. 00.4318.005.027 which is a 174mm axle with 20mm M12x1.75 thread.
Should have it tomorrow so will update once I have had the chance to try it (need to get the old axle out first) to confirm it's the right one.
Found a handy parts list PDF on the SRAM site which lists and describes each axle (some lengths are brand specific which is what was throwing me), axles are on page 154.
if you cant get the correct part then I have one on a broken frame hanging in the garage that you can have
cant do next day though
Thanks for the offer, if the one arriving tomorrow doesn't fit I may well be back in touch..
Quick update to end this thread, the axle I ordered as highlighted above does indeed fit and is the correct length, the thread is a bit longer but not enough to be an issue I think.
