Hi,
Looking to replace bolt through axles, in particularly the front one with a bolt through axle. Possibly.
I take the front wheel off regularly, 6 times a week perhaps. No big deal I know but it would be convenient to use a bolt through with a little handle on. I have seen DT Swiss but am aware that many bike brands have other axles.
Considering both for my rigid forks (Stooge) and Suspension (though I think these may be available from rockshox)
Need to measure the length later but M15x1.5 I think and at a total guess (until later) 132 to 136 ish long
Any tips?
QR bolt through axle?

Re: QR bolt through axle?
Make sure you know the actual length required and thread pitch or it won't work.
The dt Swiss are good but their only real advantage over another is the Allen key is attached ( which comes at a weight and price cost) but is very convenient and easy to use. ( end " handle" can be pulled up and rotated for neatness / location.
Never tried any other brand but suspect they all work fine, at different price points.
EDIT: Mine have never come loose and certainly hit your convenience need.
