Thru axle help

(1/4) > >>

woodsrider:
CS-057 - There is a little slop between the thru axle and the dropouts - not much, but it is there.  I'm using the thru axle that Peter sent with the frame.  I've been out of the game a while and this is my  first bike build with a rear thru axle.  Is this normal?   

Also, is there a threaded hanger that will fit this frame?  I don't care for the exterior nut and the little set screw.

325racer:
Yes, there's some slop.

When the China axle no longer held I replaced it with a DT Swiss.  I could not find a threaded hanger, but the DT Swiss but hold in place much better than the China one.

Which DT Swiss axle did you get?  Thanks

I would firstly check if your hub is 142mm wide.
If not, maybe did forget a shim somewhere(eg: between two cassette cogs, or a hub end-cap, a shim inside the freewheel, etc. ) ?


This is a good axle a lot here are using: https://r2-bike.com/DT-SWISS-Thru-Axle-RW-RWS-12x142-mm-E-Thru
You can order a couple of nuts M12x1.5 too in case you loose one: https://r2-bike.com/SHIFT-UP-Nut-M12-for-Shimano-E-Thru-Thru-Axle-12-x-142-mm

The play is within the dropouts, not between them.  It's like the axle is too small a diameter, causing a little play inside the dropouts.  Thanks for the link.
