Product Information

Full details

The Burgtec Fork Axle is designed for mountain bikers looking to replace standard quick-release skewers with a more secure, low-profile, and durable solution engineered specifically to Fox fork specifications. It provides the key benefit of increased trail clearance and the ability to use a torque wrench for precise installation, though users should note it requires carrying an 8mm or 6mm Allen key for wheel removal rather than relying on a tool-free lever.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this axle compatible with all forks?

This axle is specifically engineered for Fox fork specifications; ensure your fork model is compatible with these requirements before purchase.

What tools do I need for removal?

You will need a 6mm or 8mm Allen key to loosen and remove the axle.

Can I use a torque wrench with this axle?

Yes, the design specifically allows for the use of a torque wrench to ensure the wheel is secured to the correct specification.

Why are there two hex sizes?

The double hex design includes a 6mm fitting with an 8mm backup. If the 6mm fitting becomes stripped or damaged, the 8mm fitting serves as a 'Get out of Jail' feature for easy removal.

Is the titanium bolt replaceable?

Yes, the unit features a grade 5 titanium pinch bolt and backing nut designed for maximum durability.

Troubleshooting

Axle feels stuck or difficult to turn

Remove the axle, clean the threads thoroughly, and apply a fresh layer of bike grease before re-installing.

Hex fitting is difficult to engage

Ensure your Allen key is clean and free of debris; use the alternate hex fitting (8mm if the 6mm is obstructed/damaged) if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward and requires only a clean workspace and a torque wrench. Begin by removing your existing axle and cleaning the dropouts of your fork to remove any old debris or grit. Apply a light coating of high-quality bike grease to the threads of the Burgtec axle to ensure smooth operation and prevent seizing. Insert the axle through the hub and tighten using an Allen key. For maintenance, periodically remove the axle to clean the threads and inspect the titanium pinch bolt for debris. Because the unit is made from high-strength materials, it is resistant to corrosion, but regular cleaning after muddy rides will ensure the hex fittings remain in good condition.
