RS Maxle question

[dyna-ti]

I've the lever version. Can i just swop that one for a stealth maxel axle, or is there anything else to it ?.

Is it advisable to threadlock the stealth version ?.

Re:

As long as you get the correct version (boost or non boost ) yes they are same as far as I’m aware.

I’ve got normal fitted to my new Lyrik’s and stealth on my pikes and they swap over on those. I don’t lock tight it in either.

Righto, cheers for that.

I'll think ill maybe go with one. Just keep an eye on the tightness till im satisfied its not undoing in use.

Re:

I built my kingdom in Oct last year and not checked it once. It’s been off once for a tyre swap.

I would not thread lock it

The hex bolt head is made of a lightweight (soft) alloy

Very likely you would round the bugger off

Plenty of over tightened maxles (all brands) have had to be replaced on bikes that I’ve seen come through our workshop
