Ive just managed to chew the teeth inside the handle of my thru bolt axle.

Dont really fancy paying £39 for a whole new axle - Does anyone know if i can buy a new lever on its own?

Thanks

I replaced my dt Swiss rws skewer on my reba with one of these:

Cheap and works well - assuming you need a 9mm (other sizes available, I also got a 10mm for rear)

I don't think you can get new handles, but if you do decide to replace it with another DT SWiss one, do yourself a favour and get the alloy-handled version. The ones made of plasticky resin have all the durability of a chunk of Lancashire White - or maybe Wensleydale. I also managed to snap the lever off a Superstar one, which somewhat dented my faith in them. So far two all-metal DT Swiss RWS 10mm levers have been fine.

DT warrantied mine but it did take 4-6 weeks, I got a superstar one while I was waiting.

Same as Superstar but twice the price 🙁
Cheaper than anywhere else though!
