gemma- Can anyone with a shimano parts book telk
me what shimano part number #32K9804 is? (they're 141mm axles for QR, not sure road or MTB) BRBR If 141mm, then rear road axles in 10by1 thread pitch. 146mm are MTB rear axles.

(they're 141mm axles for QR, not sure road or MTB) QR axles are generally 11 mm longer than the designed over-locknut distance, so these would be primarily intended for so-called "road" hubs with 130 m spacing. The 11 mm dimension is the practical _maximum_ and you can actually manage perfectly well with considerably less protrusion. Thus, these axles would also work entirely satisfactorily with 135 mm "mountain" spacing, and you'd even save a bit of weight! Indeed, I used to ride a singlespeed mtb with the axle cut off flush with the locknuts, no protrusion at all. Never gave me a lick of trouble. (I did this to gain a modicum of chain tension adjustability on a frame with vertical dropouts.) Since Shimano Freehub axles are as near immortal as bicycle parts get, there isn't a lot of demand for these as a repair part. By the way, in the case of parts other than tires and rims, the terms "road" and "mountain" are marketing terms, not by any means descriptive of actual usability or suitability.

Since a hollow axle is held by the pressure between the faces of the locknuts and the faces of the skewer and nut. Any axle beyond the locknut is only useful to conveniently position the wheel before closing the skewer. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

I should have said - thes are axle 'kits' - also contains cones, washers, seals and locknuts (non immortal parts :-). The cones wouldn't be a universal fit between years and models? There isn't a part number stamped on the non-drive side cone, which is why I can't work out what they're suitable for. Gemma |
