How does rockshox maxle work

You should never have your lever facing forward or directly down because it may catch on weeds, branches, or rocks and flip open or send you over the bars. With the lever in the Open position, see what number the lever sits in on the axle. If it sits on 6 and you needed to move it 4 clicks counterclockwise to get it to sit in the right position, squeeze the lever head together between your hands and rotate the lever to the 2 position.

Reinstall your Maxle and make further adjustments as necessary. Bug Mar 15, at Should work Just makes it more of a pain to take off your front wheel. Plus not to mention i have fitted a QR maxle off a set of totems to a set of 35mm boxxers. Thanks for the info. I do not like it's quick release. It is too iffy as to proper bering tension while using a White Industries hub.

I have to Not forgetting, the Maxle Lite DH takes more time to undo in theft situations. I am not sure if this changes anything. I'll have a look around to see what I can dig up. Thanks again. Mine doesnt click. I dont really like the Maxle cant complain about the Boxxer though. I thought the old Marzocchi dropouts were pretty good. Hey guys, can i use this maxle on 09 boxxer wc? Adammatthias Feb 22, at Help needed How do you determine the size of your maxel to buy a new one?

Mine doesn't click anymore when tightening. Jonny12 Mar 22, at I wouldnt use this realy Dont think i'd trust it. Post a Comment Login or Sign Up. All rights reserved. Whose stupid idea was that to out so little material on a part that is going to have to take so much force. So how can I get the front wheel out now??? Bah humbug! Just file a bit more of a square into the maxle and try again. Rockshox will replace it.

The Specialized system is so much more refined to use. Luckily I had a spare. One of the reasons why i dont have maxales is because i dont like the way they opperate. Way too much effort for getting a wheel in and out. I prefer the Fox 15mm axle quick release, it just works, RS Maxle just seems over engineered and not as good. I thought the lever end has a split collet so when the QR is done up, the collet expands in the drop out and stops the axle undoing.

They are the worst design ever. I only nip mine up snug but have damaged more than one with light pressure. The Maxle ultimate on my pikes is better but the cost of them is insane. The Ultimate comes stock on Pike, Ya The Maxle Stealth is a bolt up axle that does away with the quick release lever for the lightest and cleanest possible set up.

The Maxle Ultimate weighs in at 76g, while the Maxle Stealth is just 37g. Who knew we could make a thru axle disappear? Basic things like axles are often the easiest to overlook. Because one hand is all it takes to remove or install the Maxle Ultimate. And lever-placement personalization is accomplished completely without the use of tools. Available for both front and rear, Maxle Ultimate is the easiest-to-operate axle system in the world. No tools, no worries, so you can concentrate on the trail ahead.
