  • Thanks. Will have to measure the width then. Stupid mistake by me not ordering a fitting axle right away when ordering the frame. Only part missing before i can start building.

    And surely 12 x 1 must mean the thread pitch will be 1? The 34 is the length/drop of the mech hanger.

  • Before you read the rest, long story short, buy this!

    And surely 12 x 1 must mean the thread pitch will be 1? The 34 is the length/drop of the mech hanger.

    You've got it! The M12 part is obviously 12mm diameter, the 1 is thread pitch. So you need a thru axle with a 1.0 thread pitch.

    I've looked up your rear dropouts and insert and found this:
    Dropouts.
    Insert.

    Your NDS dropout is 10mm thick, your DS dropout + insert is 15mm thick. Since you'll be using 142mm width hubs, adding the 3 together you'll need a (10+15+142=)167mm skewer.

    The link to the DT Swiss skewer wouldn't work because it's too short according to this.
    The shimano one wouldn't work since it uses a proprietary "nut".

    Regarding DT Swiss you can either use HWQASM00S2961S or HWQASM00S0233S, but these are pretty hard to find, but found one here.

    You could also switch to 1.5 thread pitch by buying one of these.

    Hope it helps, maybe a bit to much info?
