I’ve never heard of trouble with the OEM axles for the 1001/1002, which makes me wonder if maybe not all their frames take the same length and they accidentally sent you the wrong one?
I’m finding plenty of axles with a 12x1.0 thread pitch but I think they’re too short; so far the one I was most interested in was the DT Swiss with removable QR handle, and they only seem to be available up to 168mm with 12x1.0 thread or 177-178 with 12x1.5. Weird that I can’t seem to find the right combination of length and thread, it doesn’t seem likely that this is a completely one-off axle type…
It's the axle dimension I was told at the beginning when I asked for that. 181mm length - it has 181mm length, so I got the 'correct' one. But yeah, maybe your assumption os correct and this is just a wrong axle.. the technical drawing is pointing to that direction. However, even if one of you ordered the 181 axle, you may just be lucky cause of tolerances..and if not you can shorten it, the thread length is sufficient for that.
I would guess that their frames are very different for axle lengths. The 696 has different axle lengths than the 505, although the pitch is the same (1.5 I think.).
If I would design a trail fully I would give it more thicker Carbon structures than the XC fully 909. And then it's just natural that lenghts differ.
For the word standard and bicycles I can just do that:
