Sorted Deore XT HB-M730 - axle

[Once A Hero]

I'm looking for a q/r axle for a Deore XT HB-M730 front hub to replace a bent one.

If you have an axle or a serviceable hub going spare, or if you know of a source for new q/r axle please let me know.
No point offering me a mint hub as I only need the axle.

Thanks.

I’m guessing a DX hub of the same era might also be the same axle?

I do have a grumbly front m730 hub somewhere out there that’s built in to a wheel. I wanted to strip it first and see if it’s the cups that are knackered. If that’s the case I could have an axle for you. Won’t get time to check until next week now though.

I appreciate that, thanks.
I can get by with another wheel for now, so happy to wait. Fingers crossed your cups are shot!

Isn't it the standard shimano quality front axle of the time?
I've got loads in a box I'm sure.
(The cones wear about 3x as fast as the cups imo)

I would try SJS cycles - they keep a ton of shimano spares
pretty sure shimano axles are fairly standard across multiple hubs - just different lengths dependant on OLD...

pretty sure this is what you need (though of course it's out of stock)

you could probably just spend an extra 3 quid and gets this:

ignore the warning about M525 hubs only - the axle is exactly the same (as I suspect are the cones and lock nuts!)

Yep number 7 is what I need. Reckon you could spare one?

Any chance to look for one @bikeworkshop ?
