Axle Lock

Axle Lock
$80.00

The Velobike Axle Lock doubles the clamping friction of the rear wheel, reducing wear any chance of slipping under high intensity efforts.

We've developed the Axle lock to maximize useability for quick and easy wheel removal without requiring separate tools other than the 15mm spanner that you'd already be using to remove the wheel.

Perfect to use in a situation where a wheel or dropout assembly may be damaged or worn to prolong the framesets lifespan, and to increase wheel security.

Developed in collaboration with Queensland based athletes in response with local commissaire ruling around chain tensioners.

UCI legal and ridden to Australian National gold medals in Men's Kilo Time-trial.  

We highly recommend to pair these with a set of new M10 Runwell Elite Hub Nuts. Worn nuts are usually the cause of dropout damage and wheel slipping issues. Over time the problem compounds from further slipping and over torquing of axle nuts causing further damage to both the nuts and dropouts.

Installation Tips
  1. Unscrew the wheels axle nut and slide over the clamp plate.
  2. Insert the Clamp Bolt in from behind,  this can be positioned in front of behind the wheels axle depending on where the wheel is located in the dropout when the chain is tensioned.
  3. Place the Clamp Plate (grooved side towards the dropout) over the wheels axle and the Clamp Bolt.
  4. Torque axle nuts as normal (30Nm maximum).

Good for safety

These axle locks are great to secure the rear wheel while racing.

Works well but is not usable in all situations when you use the same chain. May need to think about a short face plate as well with just enough room to fit the hub nuts and wrench’s. Maybe 5 mm shorter

Great Design

The design and finish is great.

Can a chain tensioner be converted to an axle lock by removing the screws and using a clamp bolt in the second hole?

Velobike

In theory, yes. However you wouldn't be adding any further value (and in someways adding unnecessary complexity) than just using an axle lock.

For axle locks, are they recommended to be used as a pair or singularly?

Velobike

It depends on the condition of your dropouts. The drive side is the side that will slip if any slipping is to occur, therefore most bikes will only need one fitted to the drive side. However if your non-drive side dropout is also worn, using the locks will help with the durability and life of the frame
