Xanderstander Posted September 2, 2016 Share Howzit everyone. So the rear axle on my 2012 stumpy snapped (joy). I have a superstar hub on there, but we are struggling to get a hold of the guys from superstar. Has anyone managed to get a new axle from them/ does anyone know if I can use an axle from another company? Apparently they are just rebranded novatecs?

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 2, 2016 Share Which hub is it? Is it the actual axle, or just the thru axle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 2, 2016 Share Never heard of that brand...It's a pretty big UK outfit. Good quality stuff, but as of about a year ago they decided to up their shipping costs and it now costs a minimum of GBP 80 to send anything here.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 2, 2016 Share Superstar TrizoidAh. Nice. If they were shipping normally, I'd still be buying from them TBH. But that shipping charge is just ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanderstander Posted September 5, 2016 Share i snapped mine too, superstar hubs are rebranded Novatecs, if you need a new axle order from them, and someone bring into from the UK. many a threads/forums on the models of superstar/novatecHowzit man. I'm struggling to find any info on the models that are the same for superstar/novatec. Where are these threads/forums? Struggling to get the novatec axle that looks like my through axle. Mine has two ridges that I'm assuming keeps the hub in it's place or something, whereas the novatec ones that I have seen are just smooth without ridges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the nerd Posted September 5, 2016 Share Its exactly the same as a novatec hub. My brother broke his SS freehub and replaced it with a novatec. As in identical. OK GrantED my LBS had the same one in stock so I can't tell you the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK GrantED my LBS had the same one in stock so I can't tell you the model.only problem is that this particular one is the Trizoid model. Saw Hairy on the trails this weekend and he mentioned that he'd given Xander the contact details of the guy in charge at Superstar. That's the best course of action IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the best course of action IMOYip Problem is that there are different axles for different Hubs... So although they are rebranded Novatec it might be a 712 axle or a 542 axle. Best would be to send us the hub and let Louis have a look at it. Axles are about R295 - R395 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
