Check out the range of Front Axles from Robert Axle Project in the Lightning Bolt-On option to get your mountain bike looking sleek.
Your bikes front axle is probably the most used one, as you remove the front wheel to put your bike on a rack or in the car. As stock axle’s on bikes are generally of a lower quality, you may find the threads no longer holding the axle tight in the fork. This may feel like the axle never quite tightens up enough, or comes loose often.
If you ride a mountain bike or have a suspension fork, it’s even more important to have a good quality axle. The quality of your axle will factor in to how well your suspension fork performs. A stiff axle will give you more stability & control, and reliability.
Another factor for the mountain biker is getting rid of the bulky handle on your standard thru axle. This handle can knock into trail obstacles & come loose from taking these knocks. This can easily lead to a dangerous situation – in seconds! But also it gives you less confidence when you hit the trails, as you need to account for the handle being an obstruction. Don’t let this be a problem for you anymore, replace your axle with a Lightning Bolt-On RAP version!
