Evening all, I want to find a 2nd hand through axle in the classifieds to replace the one in the photos but I'm scared of buying the wrong size (complete cycling noob).  

 

Can someone point me in the right direction and also let me know what to look out for/ask the seller about?  Chances are I'll have to buy it remotely.

 

 

 

 

What is wrong with it, why do you want to replace it?

I also have one lying around, 100x15 (M14x1.5mm thread) (non boost) original Fox.  Let me know if you don't come right.

The most important thing is to check if the thread is M14 or M15.  Fox tend to use M14, thread diameter 1mm smaller that the thru-axle shaft, and then the thread pitch is also important, as far as I know Fox mostly use 1.5mm.

Where are you located?

Will this work?

No I dont think it will, that is a "boost" (110x15), I think you need a "non-boost" (100x15).  Looking at your photos, it look like the one I have is exactly what you need.  It come of my Fox 32 Float 29 100 CTD fork.

I'm in Alberton, if you are close to me, you can try it first?

If it's a Pro 2 hub it's non boost. Same if it doesn't have a Fox ID.

 

TheoG's one will work, Ernst's one won't.

Thanks for all the help hubbers, and to Ernst and TheoG for offering to sell me theirs but I've managed to fix my old axle with the help of my LBS and some locktite

The decals on the fork say that it's a fox float 32.  What is a tune id?

The tune ID ties into a manual accessible on the Fox website which gives you information on how to set up the specific shocks.
