Would you buy x12 axle from china or..
« on: July 15, 2015, 02:27:08 PM »
Would you purchase a brand name rear axle. The frame I think I have finally decided on is the 057, and I am wondering if I should go with the axle from Peter or get a brand name one that may work betteR? I just read on this forum and on MTBR that the rear axle from the chinese places is coming loose. Is there a better alternative?

No, I wouldn't buy the China axle again. I replaced the China axle with a DT Swiss axle. http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,649.msg7120.html#msg7120

Thanks, I knew I had seen that post somewhere, but wasn't able to find it today.

Yep, bought the DT SWISS axle to replace the China axle. It looks better, but most of all it stays on....
