Right MTB'ers, i.e. @Howard @BareNecessities, I need a pair of 12 mm thru axles. Any recommendations or are they all much of a muchness?

Howard in reply to @andyp

Dunno, no experience of them. Only have maxles here. I think the Trance is bolt through 12mm, and that's DT RWS jobby.

So, DT Swiss maybe?

BareNecessities in reply to @andyp

In the spirit of recommending the thing that I have, I'm going to say DT Swiss RWS. They're light, simple to use and don't vibrate loose.

You need this one:

and a drill with the right bit and the torque clutch set up to 10nm:

and a helper with a suit like this:

then you are set up for fast wheel changes...
