mtb_nik Posted February 25, 2015 Share Hey guys After my ride two days ago I noticed the quick release on my front wheel's thru axle was loose. The axle was still sitting tight in the fork. (Rockshox SID fork, 15mm thru axle).Went for another ride yesterday and afterwards noticed I had lost the cam lever completely. (My own fault for not having dealt with the problem before- I admit) Maybe someone can explain how the quick release mechanism within the axle became loose?Then to my actual qustion, any one know where I can source a replacement part or another axle that can be used instead? As RockShox have none of these in stock and will have to wait a month Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee_biker Posted February 25, 2015 Share Make sure your little ellen-key screw is not loose in the inside of the lever. I had that problem, thought was broken, but actually only loose screw. braailegend and Eddy Gordo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Are these 15mm TA's universal? Would this also fit a Fox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLMTB Posted February 25, 2015 Share Thanks!Cool no porbs.And, as far as I know, one can not use a RS TA on a Fox fork and vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted February 25, 2015 Share They are specific to the fork, only RS with RS and Fox with Fox. If you don't come right I've got a loaner you can borrow until the agents get stock again and I can replace, but it's a bit shabby so I wouldn't sell it to you... popcorn_skollie and Eddy Gordo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtb_nik Posted February 25, 2015 Share Thanks for all the replies! Are all thru axles priced around R500? Or will I be able to find an alternative one to fit the fork but cheaper? Dont know to much about them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know to much about them... The Rockshox one is around there - R 500 is actually a decent price. The Fox one will make your eyes water. mtb_nik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
