Brand-X Twist Lever Thru Axle Review

• . The Brand-X Twist Lever Thru Axle design is constructed from durable materials and made to manufacturers exact specifications; these Thru Axles from Brand-X are a reliable and competitively priced alternative to your fork or frame’s original Optimised Lever Design. Unlike the common/standard bolt-thru axle, the Brand-X version has an easy to use, solid twist lever. There’s no need to twist and back off to get a clamping mechanism working, simply twist the lever until your wheel is solidly locked in place. The lever sits on splines and can engaged/disengaged to set the lever in your desired position once tightened in place. Available in a range of sizes, Brand-X has produced these twist lever thru-axles in the most commonly seen lengths and thread pitches Note: It is recommended to precisely measure the dimensions of your existing thru-axle before ordering, see the dimension table below Features: ¬†Material: AL7075 Aluminium ¬†CNC Precision engineered ¬†Engage/ disengage twist lever ¬†Hollow for weight saving ¬†6mm Allen hey head at the bolt end for 2-way adjustmentSpecifications: ¬†Option 1: For solid road/gravel/cyclocross forks that use the Shimano E-Thru 12x100mm axle standard with an M12x1.5 thread pitch. ¬†Options 2 and 3: For frames with the 142x12mm axle standard and that use the Shimano E-Thru 12mm axle standard with an M12x1.5 thread pitch.

Before you buy any product online, but especially products like Brand-X Twist Lever Thru Axle or in fact any other products in the Quick Releases category, you’ll want to follow these pieces of advice. These tips or advice are designed to help you get the most from your money. Essentially we’re finding ways to ensure you get the best product for the best price.

The first of these tips is for you to try and really understand what it is you are looking for from a Quick Releases product. There are obviously a massive amount of options to choose from so we’d always suggest doing your research at the start to help you to really understand what sort of product you need. Once you have a bit of an idea of the various options available we really recommend you write yourself a list of “must have features”. This list should include any elements that you consider absolutely essential, e.g. it must have XYZ feature or be from a brand like Brand-X or be priced at under £29.78. This list will really come in useful when you come to narrowing down your search. Don’t be tempted to stray away from the list though or you can quickly end up spending much more than you had planned because you’re suckered into some sales copy which makes you feel like you need a feature of a more expensive product, when in reality you don’t.

Our next tip is to check out the overall features and benefits of Brand-X Twist Lever Thru Axle, if you decide that the key features match your list that you made above, you’re in a good place. Spend a bit of time really getting to grips with what all the different features mean so that you can confidently determine how one Quick Releases product differs from another.
