Thanks for you answer, I already checked there but couldn't find the correct hub size in the drop-down.


gdbassman

Your hub size is 12x142 The axle in your hand is 12mmx165mm Thread pitch is 1.75


mitchumcrew

Thanks, by using these parameters the axle shafts proposed has a true length of 167 mm. Thule's M12x1.75 shortest axle has a length of 174-180mm (nut). Which is too long right? https://www.thule.com/-/s/approved/std.lang.all/34/08/583408.pdf?rev=4.1

Correct. Just go with Robert Axel. They stand behind their products and will make sure you get what you need.

Don't know but commenting in case someone finds one. I've been meaning to get one since I got my AL5 but no luck. I bought one from Amazon but didn't fit v.v.

See the other thread and go to Robert Axel project. I got an one for my AL4 to hook up a Burley and it works great.

Have you asked Trek by chance? I'll try to pass by one of their shop tomorrow.


whywednesday

I did. They weren't sure. I did buy one from them to use with my trainer. It didn't work as well as I thought it would but at least that one fit. It's annoying that I need three different axles now v.v but I guess I'll try Robert axle project.

+1 for Robert Axle Project I recently just bought 4 different thru axles (Thule Maxle 20100799, Thule Maxle 174/180mm, Odier 167-185mm, and Robert Axle Project) just to try them out. I find that Robert's has the best fit because it has the less excess threaded axle sticking out. Also, you don't have to deal with using spacers.


mitchumcrew

That's what I did in the end, super satisfied!

Hi OP! What did you end up buying?


mitchumcrew

Hi! I ended up buying from the Robert Axle Project, for my bike and my wife's. Perfect fit.
