Mountain Bike Axle Standards

15 110 can be taken almost as a parallel to the 148 it s like boost front says mike gann niner s coo.

Mountain bike axle standards. Yes it s an old familiar face a 20 x 110mm thru axle for the front hub just like. Boost gives a 148 x 12mm spacing which allows for the hub flanges to be further apart which gives a potentially stronger and stiffer rear wheel. Mountain bikes mostly use a 15x100mm front thru axle and you might still find a few road bikes that adopted that standard early on but 12 100 is more future proof for road. This arrangement is complete horseshit for aggressive riders and yes i can totally feel it.

There s a new front axle standard for mountain bikes and it s the same as the old standard just not quite. Old quick release hubs and 142 x 12mm thru axle hubs have the same widths between the hub flanges so there is no change in terms of hub flange positioning and wheel strength and stiffness. Typical chainline on mountain bikes is about 48 to 51mm. Some wheels and forks have swappable end caps or dropout inserts allowing for the use of either 12 or 15mm front thru axles.

Presumably that ll benefit front wheel stiffness even more. How do you clean and lube your chain. Aba aba the latest remy metailler wraps up his bike park tour pure gold. Until boost came along 15x100mm was the most common thru axle standard for forks with 20x110mm used mainly on downhill and freeride bikes.

Loris cornering shootout forum. The center of a 10 speed cassette should sit at 50mm and ideally the chainline should be within 2mm of that centerline. 15x100mm 15x110mm boost and 20x110mm the first number refers to the axle diameter while the second refers to the dropout width of the bike. As with the 135mm and 142mm rear standards some hubs.

There s also a 20mm boost version out there which is also 20 x 110mm but has different brake spacing it s pretty limited at the moment so we ll ignore for now. Forum main the hub the battle of axle standards. But most 15mm axles don t use pinch bolts they use 15qr where the axle floats freely in the dropout. 5 bike of.
