Wheel Axles

Wheel blocking - the importance of secure fixing of your wheels

THE wheel locking Present itself in the form of an axis of 9 mm in diameter punctuated at one of its ends by one nut and to the other by a lever. Inserted in the hub of your front/rear wheel, the wheel blocking comes, by tightening, fix it to the fork/rear leg of your frame. The wheel blocking case is therefore important, and the slightest defect in this piece induces a major risk of falling, often unstoppable when it works on the axis before your bike! If your wheel blocking shows signs of weakness, if you have to tighten it before each of your outings, opt for the safety of a new model!
 

Wheel blocking - Make sure compatibility with your hub!

Designed in titanium, but more usually in steel, the axis of a wheel blocking respects, in length, dimensions specific to cycling on the road. Where a mountain bike wheel lock has at the front a length of 110 mm and 135, 142 or even 150 mm at the rear, the dimensions are reduced on the road, with standards of 100 mm (front axis) and 130 mm (rear axis). The offer available on Probikeshop retains exclusively fast tightening wheel blockages, which makes the fixing/withdrawal operation a formality. It remains to choose a model with dimensions admitted by the hub of your bike wheel !

Wheel blocking - wheel blockages compatible with Fulcrum or Campagnolo wheels!

Alu, composite or carbon (XLC QR-L04 XLC wheel blockage), the design of wheel lock levers has accompanied the evolution of bicycle equipment on the performance track! Zipp aero models thus benefit from levers with aerodynamic design, while Campagnolo made the choice to hide them for the induced weight gain! Your choice of wheel blocking is to be determined according to your equipment and your level of practice! Entrance models like other compatible with the high-end wheels of the manufacturers Fulcrum (Racing 0, Racing 1) or Campagnolo (Bora, Hyperon, Bullet) are subject to your choice on our site!
