NOTE: There is not a numerical torque figure for the Hexle. We recommend tightening the 5mm with your multi tool that you carry with you. This way you’ll be able to remove it in case of a flat out on a ride.
ANOTHER NOTE: If you are looking to retrofit your non-Ibis bike with one of our Hexle's, you'll need to know the standard or thread pitch. For some reason, our industry has decided we need three different thread pitches for through axles:
Syntace, Specialized and DT use 12x1.0
Shimano is 12x1.5
Rock shox maxle is 12x1.75
Your bike manufacturer should be able to tell you which of these you need.
For reference here are the shaft lengths of the various options:
SRAM 142: 175mm
SRAM 148 Boost: 174mm
Shimano 142: 165mm
Shimano 148 Boost: 171mm
