Wanted Titanium 135 rear axle/ sh@gged XTR hub?

[TreaderSteve]

Looking for a Ti rear axle for regular 135 rear QR please.
I hear that some of the XTR hubs had such - might there be an otherwise sh@gged hub out there that could relinquish its axle? Something new in its packet from someone like Venhill or Allintex?
Thanks!

What era xtr hub!

Erm, I read 'all' but not the earliest iteration - but don't believe everything on t'internet! Perhaps only bolt-through is/was in Ti?

I have an m950 rear hub for sale if that's of interest?

 

[TreaderSteve]

Ishaw, I doubt it would be cheap enough, unless it's jiggered?! I was only after the axle to go in a new XT hub which is fairly age-suitable for the Merlin. Was looking to spend £20-ish which is what they occasionally crop-up for. I can always retro-fit at a later date if I come across one of course.

Pardon our interruption...

Go on, treat yourself

Yeah, I know! Not likely. EDIT: IMPROVE-part - that place in China that does knock-off Ringle parts does them for like £40 - still too much for me. I missed one on Ebay a week or so ago - £14 - I just didn't see it. There are bigger problems in the world than acquiring a Ti axle!

I have been looking at that axle for about 18 months hoping for a 90% price drop…

…or to become randomly and wildly rich.

It was Improve-Part https://www.ebay.com/itm/3637348945...Apz8zZh8ovoTmFZI0pi+AH6CuF|tkp:Bk9SR6DFm-7VZA

Cheaper on their website and other knock-off goodies that some have given good reviews about
