Could anyone help me with this? I’d like to replace the Maxle that came with these - it’s a stealth jobbie with 5mm Allen key but damaged by previous owner. Prob about 2015.15mm non boost.

Thanks - I just found that too, and have now come round again after fainting with shock about the cost!!

Yeah, bit bloody pricey. Fox tax innit. My burgtec one for my 2021 36 was £30?

Burgtec, Wolftooth, OneUp all do cheaper alternatives

But are any of them for a 2015 non boost fork?

Tell a lie, my Fox must have been 2016, the oneUp non boost is 2016 and later

Brand-X do a non-boost Fox axle

They also do it in non lever flavour too

The Burgtec Öhlins one looks like it might fit - have emailed them. No idea if any of the above Brand-X ones are correct or not!

Measure the length, thread length and pitch and compare to the brandx ones. They publish all the details. Probably don't even need to measure thread pitch as I'd bet fox always use the same.

It’s the weird stealth bit that is different on the Fox axle - don’t think there is a compatible Brand X one.
For now I’ve jammed and araldited a cut down and bent Allen key in there so it can be manually removed and tightened - reckon that should work as doesn’t need to be very tight. If it fails I will stomach the £65 odd quid!
