Compatible with the Restrap Switch Rack, these additional axles allow you to move your rack easily between multiple bikes. Install an axle on each bike for quick and seamless changes whenever needed.
Which axle do you need?
- All Switch Racks come with an axle supplied. This is designed to replace the one current axle. It is compatible with 142mm and 148mm (boost) spacing and comes supplied with spacers to tune fit.
- It is imperative to use the correct thread pitch for your frame
- To determine the correct thread pitch, remove your current axle. Many have the thread pitch printed on the axle. It will be either 1mm, 1.5mm or 1.75mm
- If it is not printed on the axle, you will need a ruler. Count our ten threads from the end of the axle and measure the distance. If it is 1cm, you have a 1mm thread pitch. 1.5cm = 1.5mm thread pitch, 1.75cm = 1.75mm.
- If you are still unsure, check with your frame manufacturer directly.
Fitting the Switch axle:
- Remove your bike’s current thru-axle
- Fit the Restrap Switch thru-axle using a 6mm allen key. Use as many 3mm washers as necessary to centralise the top bar over the rear wheel
- Use the supplied axle cone spacer for compatible frames
