Title: 15MM Thru Axle for GRA700?
Post by: pearl on February 12, 2021, 05:30:45 PM

Does anyone know where I could source a thru axle for my DIYCarbonBikes GRA700 frame? It’s 15MM thru axle in the front. My bike was shipped with two rear axles, curious if there’s a better solution in the US that i can get this thing up and running quickly!

Whatever axle you choose insure it is the road version.
MTB 15x100 and road 15x100 don't have the same length.
If you can, measure the pitch of the thread, to insure they match.

Here is an exemple: https://www.ebay.com/itm/OG-EVKIN-12x142-15x100-Thru-Axle-Road-Disc-Quick-Release-Front-Rear-Bike-Skewer/303415484752

OG-Evkin make fine products, but they are closed for China's holidays for a week or two.

So I found a comparable frame that is pretty much the same as mine from what I can tell, (use the same geo chart) and this is the axle: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32950121531.html?spm=2114.12010615.8148356.4.3c543b21NucGJU

but how can I find that?

the OG-EVKIN one, does it come with the nut I need on the other side? From the photos I don't think it does?

What is the outer width of your fork?
Your Ali link points to an MTB axle.
