Bit of a long shot but any chance anyone has one of these thru-axleslying in a spare parts box... length of 121mm or 122mm would do me just find but seems the pitch needs to be 1.75 for Trek/Bintrager type bikes.

Spoke to the seller who split the bike of which I boight the forks and he said the one he removed was a DT swiss with Bontrager writing on the side.

Anyone :smile: please?

It's worth approaching your local Trek dealer to ask how much a replacement would be.

Thanks for the suggestion :-bd

Shaf, have Evans confirmed Trek UK have actual stock? If not you might be in fir a long wait. What about something like this?

Bit cheaper and assume you carry an allen key so dont need a lever. Have used supplier before and found reliable. Delivery often quicker than quoted.
The best thru axles I have used are CRC Brand-X but dont think they do in the pitch you need.

Good point. They said to call back after their systems are upgraded to make the actual order. Sounded like it was in stock but not sure. Thanks for that link which I might just end up using :-bd

I have phoned their UK HQ in Milton Keynes in the past to confirm stock does exist, They may of course be on a reduced service due to the pandemic.

One other thing, as will any through axle make sure its well greased before insertion (oer etc etc) and on the Allen Key ones make sure the allen key is all the way in as they can get quite tight and if not all way in will round the socket.
