The ones I found were all non-metric or sealed-hub BMX. Or no key-way which can make a front wheel removal in the field hard. I'll probably visit some shops that sell and service used bikes which is where I bought my last CroMo rear axle for the old MTB (after which it didn't bend or break anymore). You haven't really looked: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Shimano-Dur...gAAOSwk9dZnPkv cheaper for a new complete hub: https://www.ebay.com/itm/SHIMANO-HB-...kAAOSwr6pZ9M1K Not so fond of a used axle but do you know whether the HB-TX500 has a CroMo axle or is otherwise sturdy enough for heavy trail use? I'd have to find some nuts as well but that should be easy. I'm curious what failure mode you expect in a standard steel solid front axle. The failure modes I have experienced several times: 1. Bending. 2. Broken through (not just cracked but split apart). -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
