JConcepts latest upgrade item for the T5M is this titanium axle. A critical point of the axle weight revolves around the front axle itself along with surrounding geometry, hexes and pins. Within the steering block the space is very tight and especially between the two front bearings where the front axles rests. The cleverly designed JConcepts axle is quite simple, straight-forward and eliminates approximately 25 per cent weight over a stock steel axle.
The JConcepts front axle design is based around high-quality titanium construction, and a knurled axle tip for finger control and access. Finger control gives the mechanic a grippy place to rest a finger so the front tyre doesn’t rotate easily during changes making the process quicker and with less frustration. The design also eliminates screws and other items, which are hard to inspect for issues that limit performance and add additional weight. The lightweight, free spinning design includes axle roll-pins to allow easy assembly of a necessary but not included clamping hex adapter.
