IP256 SL and Kurt Kinetic
« on: June 16, 2015, 04:08:05 AM »
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know which "Traxle" is required to mount the IP256SL on a Kurt Kinetic Rock 'n' roll? Pretty sure mine is 142x12 at the back.

Many thanks,

Mike

I use the DT Swiss RWS E-thru axle
http://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=8;navigation=1;search=DT+Swiss+RWS+E-Thru+%2812x142mm%29;menu=1000%2C2%2C169;product=81622

Which is a Shimano standard.
So I guess the 2102 would fit.
But you can still ask them https://kurtkinetic.com/contact/

Thanks for the reply Carbonazza, which KK cups do you use? Surely they will trash the nice (and expensive!) DT Swiss axle?  :o I know my cheapo road bike QR is trashed from taking it in and out.

Further to the above, does the 256SL use the E thru system at the rear then?  ???

What is a KK cup? Is it this https://www.facebook.com/KingKundaCup :)

In any case, after 10 months, the axle is still fine.
I have a Hope hub and the dropouts 142x12 that came with the frame.

From the link you provided initially, I thought Kurt Kinetic was a shop selling some light minimalist axles  :o
The DT swiss axle is totally incompatible with KK trainers. The lever is totally flat.
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

No worries, I do like the DT swiss Axle though so will be picking one up in the near future!

Bought this week a DT Swiss RWS E-Thru axle and I came with an axle nut. No problems so far. I really like this axle.

The XmiPlay axle had some play, just a little, but the RWS hasn't.

Bought it here: http://en.hollandbikeshop.com/branded-bicycle-parts/dt-swiss-bicycle-parts/dt-swiss-quick-release/dt-swiss-quick-release-skewer-rws-atb-12x142mm-aluminum/
