Rene Herse Replacement Axle for Maxi-Car Rear Hubs
$68.00
Maxi-Car hubs are probably the best hubs ever made. With double labyrinth seals, they spin smoothly for decades. Unfortunately, they also haven’t been made in decades, and when you find a used one, it often doesn’t have the axle length you need. Rene Herse Cycles makes rear axles for Maxi-Car hubs in two versions: for quick releases and for a Nivex-style chainrest.
- Technical Specs
- Quick release version:
- 140 mm long
- Can be adapted to rear hub spacings from 115 to 130 mm
- Drilled for quick release
- Chainrest version:
- stub end that drilled to receive wing screw
- stub end ensures that the axle doesn't extend beyond the outer edge of the freewheel, so the wheel clears the chain as it is removed.
- axle is sized for 5-speed freewheels, but can be machined down for 4-speed.
