Built to aerospace-level standards in Minnesota, this axle improves frame protection, clamping efficiency, and long-term durability—making it a smart upgrade over many stock options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of its design is a \u003cstrong\u003ecaptive stainless steel washer\u003c\/strong\u003e positioned under the axle head. This small but critical detail reduces friction against the dropout face, helping to protect high-end carbon and alloy frames from wear. By minimizing friction, more of your applied torque translates directly into clamping force, creating a stiffer, more secure wheel-to-frame interface. The washer also prevents galling or seizing, making wheel removal smoother over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMachined from high-strength \u003cstrong\u003e7075-T6 aluminum\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Wolf Tooth Rear Axle balances lightweight performance with structural integrity. Whether you’re replacing a lost axle or upgrading a stock component, this is a dependable solution for riders who value precision and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"specs_at_a_glance\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12mm rear thru axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAxle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible within +\/- 2mm tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Axle length is independent of hub dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Confirm axle length, thread pitch, and thread length for proper fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWolf Tooth Rear Axle Specs at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"specs_at_a_glance\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 167mm – 42g | 172–180mm – 43g | 187–192mm – 46g | 198mm – 47g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7075-T6 aluminum with stainless steel washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Interface:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5mm hex key\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Torque:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"design_benifits\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Captive washer reduces friction and protects dropout surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproved Clamping Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e More torque translates into secure wheel retention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth Removal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimizes sticking and galling for easier service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight Strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aerospace-grade aluminum construction keeps weight low without sacrificing durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor installation, apply a small amount of grease to both the washer and threads to ensure smooth torque application and long-term reliability.
