Looking for Q-Lock 15mm Axle

[PappaWatTrap]

Hi Everyone 

Our Q-Lock 15 axle disintegrated on a ride with our Avalanche Envi with the Epicon 29er fork. 
 

Do any of you know where I could get it from?

Dragon Sports are the local distributor, so give your local Giant Dealer a call to see if they can help

Isn't this the same as the one on Suntour? They're pretty expensive btw. I paid like R750 for one a couple of years ago. I bought another one recently, wait let me quickly look for it................................................................................................................................................................................................. Thumb fatigue 🥵🥱. Found it 😁.

Some of the silverback Sola's came with a Suntour Epicon fork with Q-lock so maybe try CycleLab they are now agent's for Silverback maybe they carry spairs.

Shot thank you everyone, I will do some calling around. 

 

Now the next challenge is finding a non boost front wheel with a 15mm hub. @RobertWhitehead do you have something laying around in a 29er?

Yes only the front wheel, is the hub uniform throughout, cause if it expands in the then it will be hell to take out the axle

You press the axle before removing it this contracts the expanded jaws and axle will slide out. It shouldn't expand inside the hub but yea i get what you saying and it could happen.

Maybe between the remains of your axle and the parts Robert has you can make a complete axle.
