CHICO, Calif. (BRAIN) — Paul Components is now offering U.S.-made through axles that have a 12-position indexing head to allow the lever to be set and positioned in a chosen direction.
The levers have an internal cam design and work by pushing down on the head and rotating the lever to the desired position. "No more snagging on bushes and branches nor interfering with your frame/fork," the company promised, adding "commercial through axle quick releases are fragile, plastic, and poorly designed."
The axles come in nine different lengths, two different diameters, and two different thread pitches to fit most frames and forks.
They are made of stainless steel and aluminum and available in black, silver or orange. They retail for $68.
