Evening all - Newbie needing advice please... Stupidly In my excitement to get out on my E-Sommet tomorrow morning for a quick blast, Doing some pre flight checks I have managed to snap the fixing on the end of the rear hub axle for my DT Swiss E1900... I have tried to search the usual places for a replacement with a few axles to choose from and a bit lost, would really appreciate a point in the right direction as to the right one to buy as.. Thanks in advance B5DE5F21-DDCD-4393-BFDB-AF00CF3015CC.jpeg

The axle is specific to the frame, rather than the hub - i.e you just need a thru axle of the right size - this is where it gets slightly more complicated as you need both the right length, and pitch of thread.

I cant remember what it is for the E-Sommett, but I think @Gary knows as he sorted me out when I snapped mine a while back. IIRC the one it comes with is a Brand X, I think the dimensions might be written on the axle itself somewhere

Thanks for your reply, really appreciate it. I’ve looked on the axle and there’s nothing written on it which is frustrating..

Don't have my ESommet to hand but if you look in the Vitus forum I did a sticky topic for the E Sommet frame bearing numbers, bolt torques etc. you'll also find rear axle spec in there.
